molanic said:I was able to get some black chokeberries picked. There is not a whole lot of info on saving those seeds, but it seems like one method is to treat them like tomato seeds and clean off all the pulp and dry them. I did that before, but never tried to germinate any myself..


Yep. That is what you do. I rub them around on a strainer to remove the pulp. Then put em on a paper towel and let them dry for several days. Then store. Don't have my notes handy - so not sure if they require stratification.

And they are fairly easy to grow from seed. I bought a tree 3 years ago, harvested seeds and planted them in my basement 2 years ago. I think I have 2 seedlings now.

I love chokeberries - my wife hates em. Big Grin
