Yes, I agree the words "cold-stratification" I think can throw people off.
Its just a fancy way of saying the seeds need a cold period, or in my case, the Winter.
If you'd like to see how my Taxodium seeds got cold stratified, just see the pic below.
In my case, I did it mother nature's way, outside, thru the Fall and Winter, they were Fall planted, no care.

That is about a foot of snow on top of the blue metal popcorn can that contained the Bald Cypress seeds, and the snow was still falling, as you can see in the photo. Not only were they receiving cold treatment, but about 200 other potted seeds and plants in the photo did also, look closely, see all those humps and bumps in the snow?
