Default Sycamore by any other name

The message MPG.18b8e686ff68d9f49897ed@lateinos
from Warwick contains these words:

While in Japan on holiday in October, I wandered under some of the micer
looking Acers and picked up seeds.


These have been subjected to the British winter as experienced by a seed
sitting in a car glove compartment since.


I'm thinking that it'll be soon time to subject them to the warmer
climes of the greenhouse.


Any suggestions?

The period in your glove compartment won't have given your seeds the
experience they need if they were dry. The cold period needed by most -
but not all- Acers has to be in some kind of damp medium: a bit of
compost, a damp kitchen towel, etc.
