i have personally had success keeping them in the fridge for two months, planting in small pots, keeping inside til the last frost, then placing outside. in fact, i am doing it again this year. unfortunatley, the last batch all died when i was on my honeymoon, and the neighbor thought they were weeds and didn't water them, but all the other trees got watered. easiest way to see what works for you is to use several seeds for each method. i do the same for trident maples, only they get three months in the fridge.
