Seed Stratification and Germination: Winter Field Notes
Field note · January 2023
trying some stratification / conditioning with the paper towel method
trying some stratification / conditioning with the paper towel method described by the late Dr. Norman Deno, who tested thousands of species to determine actual requirements to germinate and preferred this method over sand or peat. he classified most perennial seeds as 40-70 germinators, meaning 3 months at 40F then germination when moved to 70F. Interestingly, some are 70-40, and many require more cycles like 40-70-40-70 #seeds #seedsaving #seedgermination
