Harvesting Mimosa tree seeds

15 years ago

I am interested in starting some Mimosa trees from seed. I have a tree in full bloom. I was wondering where the seeds are located? Are they in the flowers themselves or the pods that are now present on my tree? Does anyone know the best way to propagate these seeds? Thanks for any help that ya'll can give me!

The best way to propagate "Fusarium Factory" is by seed. When the pods are brown, the seeds should be ready. The seed has a impermeable coat so it needs to be scarified by soaking the seed in sulfuric acid for 30 minutes.

May I also suggest a psychiatric evaluation?
