manchurian apricot, stratifying for about 3 months in a fridge and just starting to wake up. they're tricky to store, the seeds have a higher oil content than a plum and these seeds are from 2024, so I've been holding them around 10% moisture content but we had kernels that desiccated, most would rattle inside the shell with a gentle shake, so the rehydration protocol was very gradual over the winter. Seems like it worked, so I start them in trays to save greenhouse space and then once they come up and start to leaf out the plan is to transplant some into large plugs, some into small beds. manchurian apricot seed is notoriously hard to source, and knowing I can store it for at least a year is good news, trees often will only bear a good crop every few years.
