According to the seller this variety is hardy to zone 2. Perhaps my first question should be whether that information is accurate.
It said in the online description that cold treatment was required. I would normally pop them out into a winter sowing container and leave them outside. But I'm a bit nervous that the seed might be killed if put into too cold temperatures after having been washed, etc. Whereas if I put them outside in Spring, it wouldn't get as cold, but it would still likely experience freeze-thaw cycles.
You've given me the excuse to buy some cider though. Thanks!
