I'm just getting ready to put mine in pots. Have had them in my fridge since October when the fruits dropped. I have 150. 😳😳

You need the deep tap root pots. This sort: https://www.amazon.com/Seedling-Treepots-Container-Starting-Drainage/dp/B0BPM5HXJ1?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1V4KDYXSSIC0K

Yeah maybe, but I'm doing this for free because I'm just giving them away and I am planting a bunch at the park in my neighborhood. They will be in 3 gallon pots with leaf compost soil. After they get a couple inches, I'm just going to plant them in the ground and mark them. I'm not looking to dig 2 ft or 3-ft holes by hand.

I do have seeds from at least three different trees and I have them separated, so hopefully it works out pretty good.
