Do you have a fool proof method of germinating
amelanchier seeds? I collected some seeds last
summer and immediately put some in soil, no
sprouts. I also put some in the refrigerator and
planted them in potting soil this spring, no
sprouts . . . I read somewhere that they need
two winters plus some light sandpapering. What
worked for you?
