I would plant them, mine usually germinate after stratification, when they're in the growing media, with some warmth & light. |

Hi, Quote: Larch seed 6 week scarification is up, and i have some that have germinated , do i put the rest back in the fridge or just plant them all up ? Before you put them in the fridge did you have any that floated or sank? |

Before you put them in the fridge did you have any that floated or sank? Yes, most sank, some sprouted in the fridge. I made the mistake of potting the sprouted one's too deep, and they've failed. |

The instructions that came with my seeds only said 2 week stratification, they've been out the fridge a week but no sprouts yet |

Well that was half successful, my Dawn Redwoods have sprouted and are about an inch high. The larch not one has sprouted I would have expected some failures but not all the packet never mind back to plan B. |

I did larch, ginkgo, cedar of Lebanon, Chinese elm an black pine and only the latter two germinated. I'm going to try the outside method next time |
