What is plant scarification?
Any process of breaking, scratching, or altering the seed coat through chemical or thermal methods to make it permeable to water and gases is known as scarification. The seed coat can be weakened by knife (poking holes in it) or gently running sand paper on it in order to facilitate the controlled and uniform germination of seed lots. -Wikipedia
Does scarification affect the rate of germination?
Yes. Often scarification increases the rate of germination than if no scarification where to take place.

Can you grow a plum tree from a plum seed?
Germination of Tree Seed Growing trees from seed can be fun. However, the seed of most tree species won't germinate immediately when planted because they are in a dormant state. Dormancy must be broken before the seed can germinate. In some tree species, dormancy is the result of a thick, hard seed coat. The seed coat may be broken in a variety of ways and the process is referred to as scarification. Mechanical means, such as a metal file or coarse sandpaper, can be used to break the seed coat. Treatment with boiling water has also been successful for a number of tree species. In nature, the seed coat may be broken by microbial action, passage of the seed through the digestive tract of a bird or other animal, exposure to alternate freezing and thawing, or fire. The seed of many tree species will not germinate until they have been exposed to cool temperatures and moist conditions for several weeks or months. Winter weather in Iowa provides the necessary conditions to break dormancy. Gardeners can accomplish the same results by a process called stratification. Tree seed can be stratified by placing the seed in a moist 50:50 mixture of sand and peat moss. Suitable containers include coffee cans, plastic jars, and cottage cheese containers. (Punch holes in the lid of the container to provide air.) Seed can also be stratified in plastic bags. Stratify the seed in the refrigerator. The seed of some trees, such as redbud, have hard impermeable seed coats and dormant embryos. They require both scarification and stratification for germination.Harvest fruit when full mature. Remove the seed. Seed may be sown in the fall or stratified seed may be planted in the spring. Stratify the seeds at 33 to 41 F. The European plum (Prunus domestica) requires 90 days. Seed of plums should be planted 2 inches deep.(Like the apples and crabapples, the seed of most cultivated cherries, plums, and peaches will not reproduce true from seed.)=== ===== == == ==

What does scarification stand for?
Scarification is a crude form of body art, much like tattoos. The two main types are branding and cutting. Branding is done usually using a small tool to create complex designs. Usually heat is used, but some opt for cold branding, which cools the branding tool so much that it leaves a burn. Cutting is using a scalpel to carve complex designs into the skin. A derivation from cutting is skin peeling, where the scarification artist peels away skin to leave more pronounced scars. The whole point of scarification is to leave visible scars on the skin for something more unique then a tattoo. Scarification is also practiced by some African tribes as a right of passage for children and adults. There are professional scarification studios, but usually a tattoo artist or piercer will take scarification art as an additional service at their business. Scarification is not the same as self injury. Because it is classified as body art, for it to be legal the artist must not give their client any kind of anesthesia. Scarification is also the term used to describe the process of raking moss out of a grass lawn.
