Natural Germination: For natural germination, Acer saccharum seeds benefit from cold stratification during winter. Sowing the seeds in autumn allows them to undergo this process naturally, preparing them for germination in spring.

Artificial Stratification: In the absence of natural stratification, simulate winter conditions by mixing the seeds with moist sand and placing them in a sealed bag in the refrigerator for about 90-120 days. This method prepares the seeds for planting and successful germination in spring, mirroring the natural chilling they would experience outdoors.
