When to plant Norway Maple seeds

I have some Norway Maple seeds picked up from the local park. I have just read in December GW that this is the month to plant tree seeds. Do I need to soak them first? and will normal Mufti-purpose compost do?

    Sow them now.  I'd sow them in the open ground rather than in compost in pots.image

    Thanks Dove, do I just put them a few cm below the ground and let them get on with it?

    Absolutely Mark - you've got it.  Only a cm or so below the surface will be fine.  Not too close together then you won't have to thin them out.  In 12 months time you should have some little trees image
