Hey everyone. Fortunate enough over the last week to gather up some delicious Chickasaw plums. I would like to attempt to grow some from the seeds of the plums I have brought home.
According to OKSU, seeds need a cold stratification period. Question for the group - can I place seeds in a moist paper towel in the fridge now and then place in soil in 6 to 8 weeks and expect germination a few weeks after that?(this would be around mid august when the seeds would be removed from fridge)
Other question was what could I expect if I directly sowed a seed into a one gallon pot now (mid June). Would germination occur when the soil warms next spring? (8 or 9 months from now).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
