Pinus thunbergii seeds generally benefit from a period of cold stratification to germinate effectively. Sowing the seeds outdoors in autumn allows them to undergo natural stratification during the winter, preparing them for sprouting in spring.
Artificial Stratification: For artificial stratification, mix the seeds with moist sand and refrigerate at 2-5°C for about 60-90 days. This process simulates the natural winter conditions, breaking the dormancy of the seeds. After stratification, sow the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 18-22°C, to encourage germination.
