I did a whole series of tests with and without 
stratification; this treatment made almost no difference. 
The best and easiest results were soaking in water for 24hrs 
and then at 'room' temp (20-25C). The only failure were in 
seeds keep in a warmer place. They took 4-5 months for good 
sprouting and all conditions were erratic and spread out.  I 
save space by keeping them in plastic bags (baggies) on wet 
paper until some sprouting starts.
