You'd probably need his propagation book for that.

Some IBCers have it, maybe they can pitch in.

Dirr says, "Seed: Impermeable coat and embryo dormancy necessitates
warm/cold period. 60 minutes acid followed by 3 months cold stratification
resulted in good germination."

Hope this helps.

Subject: [IBC] juniperus sabina


Need help on germinating seeds from j. sabina. I collected them
this
weekend from a juniper on the beach. Do they need some kind of
pretreatment? Any advice?
Thanks for the help.

Only info I have is from Dirr's "Woody Landscape Plants" and he
says to collect ripened fruits in late fall or winter, clean by
maceration, dry seeds and store in sealed containers in
refrigerator. He doesn't say for how long or when to plant.
