kykandle Newport, KY October 27, 2009 08:45 PM	I gathered some fruit from a beautyberry shrub and would like to try to grow them. What should I do next?

He says "Seeds are easily squeezed from fruit after the first killing frost. While no scarification or stratification is required, my experience has been that fresh seeds don't germinate for about 3 months. A period of warm after-ripening is apparently needed. This can be accomplished by storing cleaned seeds at room temperature and then sowing the following spring." I hope this helps. Kathy
