Pre-Planting Treatments: Seeds were sown into cone-taijners filled with Sunshine # 1 (a soil-less peat-based media) amended with micro-nutrients (Micromax) and a slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote 14-14-14.) Flats wer covered with ployethylene bags and placed in a walk-in cooler. After 5 weeks, trays were removed. Within a week, excellent germination and seedling vigor was observed. Actual germination is difficult to determine, due to tiny, uncountable seed, but estimated at >80%. No significant differences in emergence or seedling vigor were noted between 5, 10 or 16 week stratified seeds. 0 germinants were observed in control flats.
