Natural Germination: Austrian Pine Seeds typically require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. This can be achieved naturally by sowing the seeds outdoors in the autumn, allowing the winter chill to prepare them for sprouting in the spring.
Artificial Stratification: For those who prefer a controlled environment, artificial stratification can be done by placing the seeds in a moist medium and refrigerating them for about 4-6 weeks. This simulates the natural cold period and readies the seeds for planting and germination in warmer conditions.
