Question
I am going to grow some trees from seeds.  Many of them require cold stratification to increase their propagation rate.  However, I do not know a good mixture to use.  I have read to use peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, or even folded paper towels.  I have the specifics for moisture content and temperature, along with time, but the correct cold stratification material has be baffled.  I was hoping you could help.
Thanks,
C. Hyer

Answer
Hi Cale,
Thanx for your question.  If cold stratifying outdoors, just use regular soil or potting soil.  If cold-stratifying in the refrigerator, I just use damp paper towels.  If they are large seed peat moss would be better.  I hope this helps.
