FREE: Magnolia Tree Seeds

The listing, Magnolia Tree Seeds has ended.

Winner will receive 6 magnolia tree seeds taken from the seed pod from last season. This is a huge healthy tree in my mother-in-laws yard. The magnolia is a very popular ornamental tree in the south ;-)

Here is how to handle your seeds:

1 Collect mature seed cones from the magnolia tree before they open fully. (I've done this for you!)
2 Put the seed cones in a dry, ventilated spot. Wait for the cones to open; this usually takes several days.
3 Take the seeds out of the cones. Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and put the seeds in the bowl. This helps loosen the outer seed coat. Soak the seeds overnight or for several days.
4 Put a colander in the sink to prevent seeds from falling down the drain. Gently wash the magnolia seeds with warm, soapy water to remove the outer coat. Use a hardware cloth to rub the coat off the seeds, if desired.
5 Fill a container with water and drop the magnolia seeds in. Discard floating seeds; they are not usually viable and will probably not germinate.
6 Spread the magnolia seeds out on a paper towel. Allow the seeds to dry overnight.
7 Fill a plastic bag with peat moss. Cover the magnolia seeds with moist peat moss. Seal the bag.
8 Store the magnolia seeds in the refrigerator at 32 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not put the seeds in the freezer.
9 Leave the seeds in the refrigerator for at least 60 days. Remove the seeds when ready to plant.
