These trees are hard to germinate and may take up to 2 years or more to sprout. Don't give up, and never throw away seeds that didn't germinate.
Stratification end date: July 2020 (first grow year, tree will survive winter indoor under T5 light to ensure survival. The following year the trees will be allowed to enter dormancy as it is necessary for deciduous trees to go into dormancy to ensure survival.)
