O.K. great info. I would have never thought they needed cold stratification. I will try it. Why would it not work to do the paper towel method for the whole procedure in and out of fridge? Have you tried this yet? I trust your expertise of course but the lazy seeking side of me has to ask that question. I collected some seeds off my trees the other day and put them straight in to a paper towel and baggie just to see what would happen. It is good to know why they might not sprout this way.
