[+] plants » Reforestation - Growing trees in arid, barren lands - by Seeds and Clay cubes (no watering) (Go to)		Konstantinos Karoubas
Hello, I live in a like Mediterranean climate (San Diego, California, USA). I'm very interested in experimenting with almonds and apricots on my 2 acres of sunbaked southwest exposure sloped property. Did you have to stratify the seeds or prepare them for planting in anyway? When I research apricots it mentions refrigeration and removing the seed from the outer shell. What technique if any did you use in preparing the seeds? Thanks very much for your exciting work.
[+] geoff lawton » Geoff Lawton's "Designing Food Forests Across Three Climate Zones" now live! (Go to)		Jennifer Wadsworth
Geoff shows three distinct climates... I'm having a hard time deciding which one I am... I'm in Encinitas (San Diego), California... USDA Zone 10a...Sunset zone 21 or 22. We only get about 14 inches of rain a year, though we haven't seen that much for the past years, in a major drought. I'm looking for some help in finding out design and plant list info for food forest in my area. Thanks all!
