Natural Germination: Noble Fir ‘Welsh Blue’ seeds benefit from cold stratification to break dormancy. Sowing them outdoors in autumn allows them to experience natural winter conditions, aiding in spring germination.

Artificial Stratification: For controlled germination, mix the seeds with a moist substrate and refrigerate for about 1-2 months. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions.
