Pregermination Treatment of Eastern Redcedar Seed

Great Plains nursery managers have found that seeding redcedar in mid to late summer provides fairly consistent germination.

The author stumbled onto a procedure to pretreat redcedar which gives consistent results in a container-grown seedling nursery.
