Prunus Serrulata (Japanese Cherry Blossom) from seed

I have been eager to start a Prunus Serrulata tree from seed. I have gotten seeds from several different sellers online, but i haven't had any luck with them. If I don't know the exact freshness of the seed and whether they have been put through a hot and cold period yet, how will I know where to start? All seeds I've tried to stratify or just sow have rotted. I've researched it time and time again, but I've found several sets of instructions. It appears my options are to cold stratify in either a wet towel or moist soil for a certain period of time before planting (tried), just plant (tried), or introduce seeds to a certain period of warm before stratifying (currently trying). Does anyone know anything about these seeds or has anyone had any luck germinating them previously? Thanks in advance for your time. :)
