cold-stratification

(1/2) > >>

David Kipps:
Are there any citrus that benefit from cold-stratification for the sake of improved germination?  Do they all have their best germination from planting the seeds right out of the fruit?

kumin:
I've sown Poncirus seed with and without stratification. There may be a slight advantage to accelerate the initial germination process, but I haven't seen great advantages. However, under ideal temperatures, I've noticed some root development under stratification, as well as seed coat breakdown. Seed coat removal may minimize this effect.

poncirsguy:
I remove seed coatings

cassowary:
Would it be beneficial to remove seed coating in Citrus sp. too??

Millet:
The seed will germinate either way.  If the seed coat is removed the seed will germinate faster.
