Okay so! I somehow managed to get my hands on some littleleaf mulberry fruit from Cedar Ridge Preserve! I\'ll just chalk it up to amazing luck and divine intervention that the birds hadn\'t gotten to them before I did, and now I know exactly where to go to find a female tree!

Now I just need some advice on getting these seeds germinated. Do they need to be scarified? Stratified? With the fruit fully maturing before the summer even sets in, I wouldn\'t think stratification would be a requirement, but what do I know... The fact that mulberries have such small seeds makes me nervous of failing and having to wait yet another year. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
