The following is in response to a previous posting.

Vaccinium macrocarpon (American Cranberry)....fresh seeds will
germinate but
with a very low germinating rate....a one month of cold stratification
will
increase the rate but for max. germination give a three month cold
stratification.

Thanks - they should have enjoyed their nine months in the freezer then.

I take it 'stratification' means 'buried under a layer of compost'?

no it means keeping in the cold. Not sure if -18 (normal freezer temp) will
be too cold though.
