Is it generally good to keep seeds in the fridge for a week or two before planting them?

Question

I've read somewhere (and sometimes the labels/instructions would say) that some seeds need to be in the fridge for a number of days so that it will germinate faster. Is this true for all types of seeds? What about seeds from fruits I buy in grocery? I've got olive (from garden shop), lemon and cherry seeds (from fruits from grocery store). I plan to get eucalyptus seeds (maybe from garden shop).

Answer 1

This is true for some seeds. Putting them in the freezer part to fool them into thinking they went through winter. But not for seeds in general. I keep mine in a a carboard box in a cool dry area. Not freezing.

Answer 2

I read the same thing as I had cherry seads, It is said to do this after they are dry and all the fruit left on the seed has been washed off. It is ment to make the seed feel cool and be more ready to grow when it warms up acting more as the right time to sprout. ( oh! when in the fridge keep seeds wrapped up in a tissue or newspaper. YES IT DOES WORK
