25 WHITE AMERICAN ELM TREE Ulmus Americana Flower Seeds

Not a single seed germinated. It was hard to believe that out of 50 seeds nothing sprouted. So I researched it and found that Elm trees require stratification....In horticulture, stratification is the process of treating stored or collected seed prior to sowing to simulate natural winter conditions that a seed must endure before germination. Some seed species undergo an embryonic dormancy phase, and generally will not sprout until this dormancy is broken.Here is a blurb I borrowed from another website. and wikipedia. [...]How To Start These Seeds:Scarification: Soak in water, let stand in water for 24 hoursStratification: Cold stratify for 90 daysGermination: Sow seed 1/16 inch deep, tamp the soil, mulch the seed bed. Prevent seed from becoming too wet.I am going to try this again and follow this procedure before planting. I read that elm seeds need to be stratified.Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

None of the seeds even tried to germinate.

None ever sprouted.

None of the seeds germinated at all! Im pretty experienced when it comes to growing elms and none of these seeds even sprouted.
