Tree seed stratification question

Hi, I'm fairly new at the whole "growing from seed" thing but I want to try it!

A friend just gave me some tree seed (white fir she said) and the seed needs to stratify in cold, damp conditions for 60 days. I was going to try the "paper towel" method for stratifying the seeds but Ive read that mold can be a big problem for seeds that need to be damp that long.

Instead of regular paper towels that might get moldy could I use some of those "antibacterial wipes" or would that be bad for the seeds? Never tried them for seeds but thinking they are damp and they might reduce the chances of having moldy seeds after 60 days.

Would they work or is that a bad idea?

Thanks all!

Margo
