The acorn or oak nut (seed) gives it's dependence to dispersal agents, because the nut is to heavy for windblown dispersal the Oak tree depends on animals such as Jays and Squirrels, these animals bury pockets of nuts in many areas as food storage, the ones left behind (the animal forgets or looses it's life) germinates and the new life of and Oak Tree begins.
I have had luck placing the acorns (making sure they don't have any holes from insects) in a ziploc bag, layered with damp paper towels, in the fridge. This mimics their natural sprouting environment (cool, dark and damp).
Apricot seeds can be sprouted like many other seeds. Either plant them in dirt and let them germinate, or wrap them in a wet paper napkin, tuck into a zip lock bag and wait for growth to appear before planting.
I've eat an apricot, now I want to plant a tree. How do I do this? I've taken the seed out of the shell, and have it laying on wet soil. It has a sprout coming out at one end. Do I plant this seed, with the sprout up or down?

When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
Dicots and monocots differ based on how many seed-leaves they have. Monocots only sprout one leaf as a seed, whereas dicots sprout two, or possibly more.
Sprout!Germinate!

Apricot seeds contain cyanide which is why they are not sold in the United States.
A sprout is the start of a new plant, usually from a seed.

It would be useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout so that it can be fertilized.
