That reminds me.  I collected some seed from A.Xgrandiflora
seedlings I'd planted out at my kids' elementary school 10 years or so
ago.  They're in a pill bottle(dry, no moist peat) in the fridge,
and have been for probably 6 weeks or more.  
Should I pull 'em out and let 'em stay at room temp 'til sometime next
winter and then do the cold, moist stratification, or have I already
messed up their timing?
