Seeds are placed in a medium such as vermiculite, peat, or sand and refrigerated in a plastic bag or sealed container. [1] Soaking the seeds in cold water for 6–12 hours before placing them in cold stratification can cut down on the amount of time needed for stratification, as the seed needs to absorb some moisture to enable the chemical ...

In agriculture and gardening, seed saving (sometimes known as brown bagging) [1] is the practice of saving seeds or other reproductive material (e.g. tubers, scions, cuttings) from vegetables, grain, herbs, and flowers for use from year to year for annuals and nuts, tree fruits, and berries for perennials and trees.

Shelterwood cutting is ideal for species that are long-lived, have seedlings that would naturally tend to start under partial shade or full shade, [11] and have seeds that are not easily dispersible. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] It allows for natural regeneration from site-adapted trees that are retained because of their good genetics.
