Don't thank me yet for the raspberry tip, as they are extremely hard to propagate! They may need scarification and stratification. I recently talked to the breeder of the Niwot black raspberry and he uses a 3 hour sulfuric acid bath to scarify. I'm think when I cross fruit to take the fruit and ferment like tomatoes. I'm going to at least try it. I can do the acid bath, but don't want to unless it is the only way. Currently I have seeds out all winter in pots in a cold frame. Too early to tell if it worked.
