The object of the experiment is to try and shorten the stratificion period of Acer seeds;

Using the information that I researched and posted on this forum previously, I proceeded as follows.

I purchased a cheap Acer seed mix,I had no say in the cultivars, they consisted of

Acer Campestre

Acer buergerianum

Acer ginnala

Acer palmatum japanese maple

Acer Acer rubrum

Acer negundo

All the seeds cultivars where put separatly ,in just off the boiled water and allowed to stand in the same water on a north facing window ledge for 48 hours

Two thirds of each of the seeds were put in damp kitchen roll and then covered in aluminium foil and will be left in the fridge for 18 days

One third of each of the seeds were left in the same water and put in the fridge in zip lock plastic bags and will be left in the same water for a further 12 days then will be treated as the above

two thirds of the seed.ie; in aluminium foil.

I will post the results on this forum.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas that can be carried out to shorten the stratification times.

Regards
