- Subject: [nafex] Apple seed stratification
- Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 18:58:47 -0500 (EST)
Dear Group,
Dr. Leon Atlas, here in Houston, has frequently stratified apple and
other seeds in the refrigerator in water containing a few drops of Subdue
fungicide. The germination percentage is excellent. His theory is that of
a group of seeds, obtained and stratified at the same time, perhaps from a
series of crosses, those that germinate the earliest will be the ones most
likely to result in a low-chill plant. Those that germinate late, will be
unlikely to be low-chill. For pomologists in the North, this would not be
of importance. In the South, if true, this would be a useful screening
technique. Does anyone know if there is any scientific basis to this theory
or if it has been studied?
Regards, Ethan
