Hey there all,

I recently harvested some 'cobs' (unknown technical term) from the A.
sikokianum.  They were fallen and basically unattached to the plant.  My
query is this; Are these green seeds viable?  How can I correctly ripen t=hem
to make them viable? and How long should they be staying attached to the
plant?
I have been storing them in a cool environment and they have started to
change color a little bit, I am assuming this is the ripening process.  A=ny
help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
p.s. The recent discussions have been very informative!
