Stratification and Germination of Western White Pine Seeds

Techniques of stratifying Western white pine seeds were compared as was length of stratification. Speed of germination increased with increased stratification periods.

Soaking seeds in water prior to layered peat stratification and layering dry seeds produced conflicting results, indicating a need for further study.
