I have to pick them out and clean off the red cover. It takes a while. haha BBB Seeds from post office tree Edith Bogue Seedling from last years BBB post office tree.

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Kevin seTN on November 2, 2024, 6:53 pm, in reply to "Magnolia Seeds" Cool! I've tossed mine in the woods and the compost pile. I'll see if they come up next year. They do naturalize here but it'd be fun to grow some. Kevin seTN

Evergreen forever Posted by Rob N TN on November 2, 2024, 9:18 pm, in reply to "Magnolia Seeds" Jason That seedling looks so healthy. How cool to grow them for the farm. Going evergreen is pure heaven. Congrats

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Alvin, z6 on November 2, 2024, 9:52 pm, in reply to "Magnolia Seeds" You got a nice harvest of seeds, there, Jason. I'm thinking they might need a period of cold to germinate. I think I heard that Brackens Brown Beauty seedlings often do not turn true, to their parents. You could be lucky to get seedlings that develop characteristic leaves, with brown undersides.

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Fred SC on November 3, 2024, 7:28 am, in reply to "Magnolia Seeds" Jason, beautiful little baby magnolia from seed, Have you named it yet? lol. It may be a Junior or Junette, lol . Who knows what you might get from germination of the seeds. They are everywhere in we pods and most often seem to have a variety of characteristics , mainly larger thinner leafs. That could be because they are in shaded areas. I do love the seed pods with red seed bursting out. Look good in Christmas flower arrangements.

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Jason Western PA on November 3, 2024, 5:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Magnolia Seeds" I hope so. They do look nice when all that red os on them.

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Jason Western PA on November 3, 2024, 5:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Magnolia Seeds" Oh yes, I do put them in the fridge over winter. I hope I can get some. We will see.

Re: Evergreen forever Posted by Jason Western PA on November 3, 2024, 5:23 pm, in reply to "Evergreen forever" Thanks Rob. I hope so.

Re: Magnolia Seeds Posted by Jason Western PA on November 3, 2024, 5:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Magnolia Seeds" I wish they did here, but we don't have many either. They are just starting to sell them in the stores, which is nice.
