Magnolia Seeds

Nope--postage will do it! Though.....I'm not at all sure I have Columbine 'Biedermier'?? I might have a couple of the other things you are looking for. By the way, these Magnolia seeds are from a HUGE old Southern Magnolia strain and may or may not survive in Ohio?!! I am certainly no expert!! Bonnie
Sending postage too Thanks so much Shirley
I'll send you some of the columbine, I have a bunch. Let me know if you have anything else I'm looking for (i need to go update that list LOL) If nothing else, I"ll plant it in a tub until it gets too big to move LOL then put it outside year round :)
Thanks SO much
Janis
As for planting Magnolia--you need to research how to do it. I do not know, have never done so but have heard it is not easy to start?? Bonnie
I just collected some seed from my tree. I checked the ORGS seed germination website
and they suggest soaking & rinsing the seed for 7 days to remove the pulpy coating. They
also said to start it in cold for 3wks (or alternating cold/warm cycles for some species).
