Stewartia malacodendron

What I failed to say in the video was that this tray will be placed in an unheated hoop greenhouse. It will experience freezing during the winter and the heat of the summer. I'll keep it well watered and hope that I get good germination in the spring of 2026.

nice, but would not it be better to break the domancy?
I am not familiar with this specific seed but most seeds will germinate if you put water, heat, cold, scarring the hard shell untill you reach the inne part/embryo (could be a bit deep depending on the seed) or using a combination of these techniques
I know you have many seeds to work on but i am confident that it would not take 2-3 weeks at most, which is basically 2-3 years of difference, which could be converted on actual plant growth
Again, i am not trying to look smart or send you any hate, i just think 3 years is way way too long, and if there is a possibility i would definitely try
