Re: trident maple seeds
My bet is get them in right now. I still have a few late starters just poking their heads up (trident maples that is)

Re: trident maple seeds
Keep us updated on germination rates Keels. I believe that fresh seed will germinate without stratification but have not actually sowed this late to see how it goes.
You could try freezing some of the seed for a couple of weeks to see if that makes a difference. I understand that stratification works best when the seed is damp so you may need to soak them for a day before freezing.
