Hi group,
I'm looking for reliable techniques for scarification and stratification. I recently performed both on 1 seed of Japanese Apricot, Black Pine, and Crab Apple. In about 2 weeks they will have been stratifying for 60 days. The directions for the Apricot recommend 60-90 days. I checked this morning on the progress and noticed the apricot looks to have rotted. It was covered in a white furry substance.
I soaked each seed in water for 24 hours, then wrapped them in a damp paper towel inside of a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Im looking for suggestions on these processes that have high success rates. Thanks.
