Note- Seeds that come packed in fresh sand can be sown immediately. They will germinate after they go through a few months of cold stratification. They have been stored in the fridge here at the farm since they were collected in June.

Seeds that are sent dry should be soaked overnight and stratified for 3-5 months before planting

Juneberry seeds are fine sitting out in a pot or a tray all winter. The freezing temperatures do not affect germination here in zone 5 upstate NY.
