Starting Maple seeds


Question
I've got some seeds from a Paperbark Maple (Acer Griseum) that I want to plant. What do I need to do to get them to germinate? Refrigerate for a while? Plant on top of the soil?

Thank you.

Answer
Hi Diane,
Thanx for your question.  If it's getting cold where you live now, plant the seeds as deep as they are long in good potting soil in a pot and leave it outside for the winter.  Make sure you keep it watered and don't let it dry completely out.  Some of the seeds should germinate in the spring.  If not, you can put the pot in the fridge for another 60 days to see if that will break the dormancy.  I hope this helps.
Tom
