I think your apple seed has had enough chilling hours. I might start them in damp paper towel under lights & under cover.

I looked for several years for NE OP and heirloom seeds. I expect you will need to widen your search to OP-heirloom seed that are cold tolerant.
I just could not find a trail of bread crumbs to being me home.

I order trees in (SE-OH) late in winter, get them some time or another in spring, and transplant them to field in October.

I give away seeds. I seek out less often offered seed. Sheffields had a few pounds of not especially fresh nuts. I was hoping to find a second source.

I am willing to pay Sheffield's price for another pound of nuts.

The third year my corn was lodged on a windless night, I cornered one of my town PD. I gave his chest a good finger poking, telling him that if anyone from his department needed to check to see if I was growing pot, that they should come in the day time and I would provide plant manuals for any that needed them. And that I understood the rights I was giving away.
The town PD never came to check. Also my corn never lodged again. What a coincidence.

Drying maple seed (for me) usually has meant that those seed are dead. Rehydrating seed and a winters cold treatment can bring back maple seed, sometimes. Fresh seed straight into a damp paper towel, and into a baggies in the fridge, has been the most dependable way to manage maple tree seed. Or most any other tree seed for that matter.
Dried tree seed held from year to year at room temperature are just about certain to be dead seed. Too often some seed houses are deluded to believe a very cold freezer is a sovereign fix. IMO it is not.

Actually it is worse than you note. You can access free-forums like this one, but you have to learn how to post with your cell-phone. At least a part of all those "no-posters" are cell users.
Face Book has turned us into antiques.

I bought pawpaw preserves a few years back at Athens (OH) farmers market.
Its the less 'canned' fruit-butters fruit-leather, membrillo, that I was wondering about.

Have you made your preserves out of pawpaw? persimmon? I am curious on who has tried what.

I grow this plant, I buy the babies. Nobody sells seed.

Bloodroot makes a soft seed. that will not survive shipping. Plant your seed and let it germinate (next year) and then sell the babies.

Turning RR loose is a little bit like turning bamboo loose. Its a great idea till your abutting neighbor hires an attourney.

I have grown rosa rugosa in NH and OH. Seed wintersows well. Some kind of root barrier is probably in order for them. Also get them to feild and out of pots.
