Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Did anyone start any trees from seed this year?, 1 by Equilibrium

I turned my kitchen into a veritable potting shed these past two weeks and it isn't over yet. I feel like a soil chef concocting potting and germination mixes for everything from Hoya to Huechera to Hazelnuts and everything in between. I started some Pawpaw seed. I had meant to get some Persimmon but forgot- oops but there's always next year. Mostly I start my tree seed in 2-liter pop bottle with drain holes drilled in the bottom particularly when it is an oak or a hickory. I used Solo cups for my Pawpaws and drilled little holes in the bottom of the cups.

The Solo cups with the Pawpaws are in the front of the image below om a tray. Did anyone else start anything this year?
