[IBC] Siberian Crab
I have some Siberian crab seeds (Malus baccata), how long do they need to be refrigerated to stratify them? What is the best way to go about stratifying them?
Thanks for the help.

Malus seeds don't usually need pretreatment, but you might get better and more even germination with a cold moist period. You could plant them out now and if they germinate, fine. If they don't, just leave the pot or flat out for the winter and they will get their pretreatment naturally and germinate next spring. Then all you have to do is sit back and wait the twenty years it takes for them to flower. That's why I recommend growing crabs from cuttings rather than seed.
