Store seed at 40F for 12 weeks THEN Lightly cover soil temperature 65-70 taking 120-365 days for germination.
Tree will be slow to flower & produce fruit..... Fruit will not be exactly like the parent. so seedling used as root stock & graft a known tree to it...

Thank you! I will put my seeds in the frige today, that would have me planting at the end of September. Does that seem a reasonable time to plant? I dont understand the last part of your post, following the ellipsis (...) Fruit will not be exactly like the parent? What might it be? Might I leave it alone to grow into whatever it will, or is that a bad idea? My sister in law knows how to graft trees, and has offered to show me, but is this necessary, and what benefits are there to grafting?

THE CUBES DO NOT RETAIN WATER WELL & THEREFORE REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT WATERINGS. tHE TEMP IS DEFINATLY A PROBLEM FOR GERMINATION & FOR GROWING MOST SALID GREENS mOST PLANTS "SHUT-DOWN' AT ABOUT 86-88f... THAT IS... THERE IS NO GROWTH/ACTIVITY DURING THE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

tHANKS FOR THE NOT... oNE OTHER THING i WOULD SUGGEST IS TO ALSO TAKE NOTES ON ANY PRETREATMENT OF THE SEED SOIL TEMP COVER NO COVER ETC... THESE NOTES WILL HELP YOU AND MAY ALSO HELP OTHERS.

tHERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS DEALING WITH SEED TRADING TRY THEM

Prefers part shade (North side of house. Keept damp not wet, soil slightly acid Low or no additional fertilizer. High humidity helpful.

Brilliant, thank you kindly.

This is a tropical plant therefore needs warm temperatures moderate watering with a chance for the top of the soil to dry out & minimal fertilization use a low nitrogen fertilizer

I pretty much ignore mine and they do great. I have a few and some get full sun and others are protected from the late afternoon sun. Both seem to be doing equally well. I feed them infrequently and water when dry. I winter them over in the greenhouse and they usually continue blooming throughout the winter. The blooms aren't much to look at but it's a very pretty bush when covered in the bright red fruit.

OOps got on the wrong forum will go to the saving seeds
sorry

You did not say which plants your seedlings reperesent. Tropicals?.... The very cold hardy species will probably survive tomatoes, peppers squach pprobably will not survive. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. in the mean time start new seeds.

Jerome - the compositae (Daisy)family is one of the largest plant classes with thousands of plants that could be called a "Daisy". There are some annuals that look similar to a Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum superbum), there are also dwarf cultivars of Shasta Daisies. Without a picture, it is pretty impossible to identify what it is you saw.

i found the daisy i was looking for. it is a shasta snow lady by park seed #1149. thanks

Germination 21-28 days & 10 weeks till large enough to set out (green)
