Hello,

Should cherry pits and peach stones be sterilized in a 10% bleach solution
and dried before storage? How long should they be sterilized?

I plan on germinating them in them in the refrigerator (moisten late
January), for April/May planting.

Also, a 10% soloution would be 9 parts water to 1 part bleach?

Thanks,
Tom
