Question
I have seeds that I gathered from Cupressus sempervirens and I would like to try growing some trees. Is there an advantage of soaking the seeds before I plant them in a tray?. Should I refrigerate them for a period of time before planting?

Thanks,
Mel

Answer
Hi Mel,
Thanx for your question.  C. sempervirens seeds do not requiring and have a short vernalization or cold stratification period.  There are some good instructions at the link below.  I hope this helps.
