says, "Seed germination has been high, 65-90%, and no stratification is
necessary. In several tests, seeds planted directly after harvest had the
same high germination rate as those stratified for 2 months."
So it seems that the only testing Dr. Maxine Thompson did was to compare very
fresh seed, to presumably fresh seed stratified for two months. There's no
info about dried seeds in this article. The only info I've read about old,
dried, stored seed has been from Sarah, and her observation that they need
stratification matches mine.
