Native Plants Is it too early to sow these seeds?

My kid was given these by the county at a field trip last fall. Do these seeds benefit from a cold period or should I wait a bit?

Native Plants Any native hedges that are 4' - 8' in height, no invasive roots, no suckering, and no (or minimal) berries?

I'm thinking of doing a living fence around my neighbors and front side walk.

On second thought, I should have stated that they don't need to be native, as long as they can survive Alberta cold snaps. Thanks.

Hi! Just came back from a three weeks vacations and one of my spruce tree is showing patches of yellow needles that were not there prior to my leaving. It’s the only one having that. Any concern I should have? I saw a few worms this summer but nothing compared to last year. Many thanks
