Tag: Seed stratification

Pawpaw seeds can lose up to 20% of their viability if allowed to dry out for just three days. Knowing how to prep pawpaw seeds properly is crucial for overcoming their natural dormancy and significantly increasing your chances of successful germination.

According to gardening experts, many seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification, a process that naturally occurs during winter and helps to break dormancy for spring germination. This principle helps determine which seed is best in winter season, for both planting and dietary needs.
