Some seeds will grow better if scarified, some partially cracked without damaging inside, and some need be exposed to months of cold, as a dormant stage, before they'll ever sprout. To help 'em along, you can sprout them in pots with proper care, then plant the seedllings.
Most seed, you have to watch temp & moisture while stored.
Varies between what kind.
If you want a hedge (Osage)row, throw "hedgeapples" in a bucket/barrel with just a touch of water. Let 'em sit over winter, then make a "mush" out of it. Then take a plow/cultivator blade/whatever, and drag a trench in the dirt as the row you want them. You can drag the trench in fall and let it sit over winter. Then, pour the mush out in the trench, spreading evenly. Cover with dirt, and if they're viable seed, you'll have a hedge row growin. I think up to 4-6" depth is okay, can't remember.
That's just a few things I've done, sometimes maybe not worth the extra effort. Maybe not even an answer your lookin' for, but I'm tired...LOL
