For those I sent seeds to last year of the large apricot tree that bore so 
heavily on the Bemidji college campus (25 miles from here  Z2/3).....I'msad 
to say it is no more. Was by there yestereday and a bulldozer had just 
finsihed its work of widening the sidewalk.  She  was a beauty, 8" trunk at 
waist high. Hope your seeds carry it on.
Regarding seed peopagating....the ones I stratified in the fridge of this 
apricot tree came alive 2 months earlier than the ground planted ones, I had 
to baby them along intil frost was past, put them in 4" by 12" pvc tubes of 
garden dirt.  The ones I sowed in the garden bed  have surpassed the early 
ones by double, though they were 2 months later. After this I am just puttng 
seeds in the ground.    Del
