Cutting Stratified Seed of Western White Pine (Pinus monticola Dougl. ex D. Don) To Determine Viability or To Increase Germination

Ungerminated, but viable, stratified western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl. ex D. Don) seed will germinate after the side of the seed is cut, exposing the gametophytic tissue. Germination of stratified but uncut seed from several trees averaged 21 percent, ranging from 10 to 30 percent. Germination of stratified and cut seed from the same trees averaged 80 percent, ranging from 20 to 93 percent. Tree Planters' Notes 37(1):25-26; 1986
