I would be the last to give you advice, Sandy. These are the first I have ever germinated and am still accumulating advice on the best way to germinate the others that I have. I plan on germinating half next month and the other half in June. I perhaps have 20-30 seeds, and they are 5 different varieties. Right now my thinking is to germinate them in 2-3 completely different ways, ways that were successful for others. I will be glad to give you my results if you like. Just send me a Tree-Mail or email me directly at
[email protected] so that I will have a reminder.
