Appears two Acer seeds have germinated and i only brought the trays in on Sat. Both trays are in humid condition in propagator but am very surprized at earley germination. Packet refers to spasmodic germination over 9 to 12 months and both trays hold 5 seed,s each. Started the process on 6th of october 2011, in 3 stages, soaking, then humid conditions, then extreme cold for 8 wks. Both trays in warmth now. Very excited will keep all posted on progress. Take care Tony
