Great info. Would you have any idea about getting American Mountain Ash seed
to germinate? I have picked these seeds from trees growing in the wild in
Northern Quebec (zone 2/3).

According to:
http://www.macphailwoods.org/shrub/montash.html

Gather berries in late September and remove pulpy flesh by hand. Each
berry contains up to 10 tiny seeds. Plant in nursery beds and cover
lightly with soil. Seeds will germinate the second spring and grow
quite quickly. At Macphail Woods, our first year's growth averaged 16
inches (40 cm).

however according to:
www.mnr.gov.on.ca/mnr/forests/ public/otspE/seedcatalogue.pdf

if you stratify for 60 to 90 days before planting, they should germinate
the first year.
