I searched the interwebs and could find no answer on this. I have a batch of elderberry and a batch of Red Raspberry that I just pulled out the fruit from the fermenter.
I thought I might take the pulp & seeds out and dump it at a friends farm & maybe get some raspberries & elderberries growing there. But I'm not sure the seeds will sprout. The seeds (fruit) was frozen , so the seeds are already stratified. I suppose I could try sprouting them, but it's -0° F here, so I'd have to do it in the house.
Anyone know the answer so I don't waste my time - will they sprout?
 
There's nothing to be lost in trying. If the seeds were frozen, they probably will sprout. If they went through fermentation? I have doubts.

You could get some peat pots and a bag of top soil, and try sprouting some now. Transplant any survivors after the danger of frost is over.

@back2it, I'll have a new whitepaper in a few weeks. Sunday we're going to use bentonite on two whites -- we have 2 carboys of each, so we'll treat half the wine.
