Propagation & Germination
- Stratification:
- Warm then cold/moist stratification (double dormancy) — 120–180 days
- Scarification:
- Seed coat scarification required before sowing
- Germination Time:
- 365–730 days
- Notes:
- Crataegus seeds have double dormancy requiring warm then cold stratification; scarification of the hard seed coat improves germination. Seeds may take 1-2 years to germinate.
