after a fall full of underripe persimon,

several seeds.
now i ask all of you:
how do i store the seeds.
how do i scarify th seeds.
Cold, moist stratification - I just put 'em in a ziploc bag with some
moist peat or newsprint - anything to keep them from drying out,
without promoting fungal growth.
No scarification needed, only stratification.
Plant in spring, once the ground thaws and freezing weather is past.
