Planting Osage From Seed ?

[Stiks-n-Strings]

I've got some open ground and was thinking about planting some osage on it.
 Can anyone here give me some advice in how to go about this?
 Thanks, Kris

Pick up the fruit and put them in a 5 gallon bucket. Fill it about 1/2 full of water and leave it somewhere for the winter where it can freeze and thaw repeatedly. The fruit will decay into the water during this time. When it takes on the look of unmixed gruel, take a stick and stir it up real good. Scratch a shallow trench where you want the trees planted, either in a nursery bed or in the field, of an inch or two and ladel out the soup mix into the trench then cover. You're done.

Generally this time of year, it is better to place the seeds in a "baggie" with moist(not wet) sand and place it in the frig until the ground thaws in the spring. This will keep the seeds viable and break the dormancy they have gone in, like other tree seeds. In the spring place them in small pots and keep them watered(not wet) and most should germinate in a few weeks. By fall, they should be strong enough to plant in there permanent location.
  If you have fresh fruit, soaking them in a bucket and pouring the "mush" into a trench seems to work well too.
