tobasco, that link is interesting. I'm not exactly sure of the meaning of some of the terms. For instance, "Aerate cleaned seed until imbibition occurs." Is that just a "scientific" way of saying let it cure in warm dry air, not refrigerated?

LindaTX8, thanks for your input. It is really frustrating to have this tree growing all around us but can't figure out how to get one started in my butterfly garden. Cannot find any small ones that aren't attached to a hard stump because they've been repeatedly cut down in a fence line. At least right now we're lucky that we can just stop on the road and cut off fresh branches to feed the 3 Giant Swallowtail caterpillars we're raising. They sure eat a lot !!

Maybe I'll pick a bunch of the seed and put them in my neighbor's bird feeder and hope they deposit them ready to germinate in my yard. ROFL.
