Native Hawthorn (Crataegus species) seed was collected locally from old Manitoba trees. The plants are probably Long Spined Hawthorn, Crataegus succulenta, or a related species, and some hybrid ancestry is possible.
Hawthorns are cold hardy relatives of apples and pears. Their edible fruit is used for jam and jelly, while the leaves and flowers have been used for tea. The trees also provide food and cover for wildlife.
Hawthorn seed has deep dormancy and may need a second alternating warm and cold cycle before germinating.

How to stratify seed
Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
