Use a fungicide in stratification. Seed germination averages 20-40%. Hydrogen peroxide soaks of 12 hours may be used as an anti-fungicidal soak instead of specific fungicides. Some growers use a dilute iodine soak to control fungi problems prior to stratification. The papery layered seed-coat tends to trap fungi spores .
