Could they be rose hips?

Hi Rhonda,

IMO those are too small to be KCT seeds but in case they are you need to get the tough outer covering off for it to germinate. I knicked mine all over with little hacksaw cuts (I used a clamp as well) and repeated soaked them in hot water. It took perhaps two weeks to get the coating off all of them, it's like they are shrink wrapped in #1 plastic. The seeds swell wherever the water can soak in, by the time you get most of the coating off it's about the size of a extremely lumpy buckeye.

If you can cut right into the seed it's probably not KCT.

HTH,
Jeanne

IMHO they look like hyacinth bean

those look like staghorn sumac seeds to me but do the red coats rub right off. If they dont then they are not staghorn.Staghorn has a red coat over a white one covering a grey seed. good luck Ric
