Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your garage probably isn't cold enough. You'll have to keep them in the fridge for several months to give them the cold period that they need to germinate. After this, it will probably be another few months before they will germinate. I'd harvest and plant more than you need. It could take a year or two for some of them to pop.

Certified ExpertA.There are several choices that can be suited, but there are two that stand out a little more. There is one deciduous and one evergreen. The winterberry is cold hardy and will lose its leaves. The blue holly will remain green during winter.

Certified ExpertA.Yes. They will need this freezing temperature to break dormancy, and will not germinate without it.
