Natural Germination: Wilson’s Spruce seeds benefit from cold stratification to break dormancy. Planting 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 a month, however this isn’t strictly required. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions. You can skip the cold stratification – seeds should germinate at room temperature after their soak.
