I am trying to find out the proper way to save the seeds. Mine readily self sow but not sure how to save them for trading and saving. Anyone with experience?

Thanks Trudi, I don't have a problem finding the seeds. They make a truckload. I just don't know if you can store them. They have that fine red coating and self sow fine so, fresh they would work. Not sure if they are still good if dry or if you need to clean off the red coating. It's thin, unlike with magnolias that have a thicker red covering. I guess I'll just have to experiment this year and see. Pattie
Mine make loads of seed. You can tell by squeezing the cone part that blooms and if it is making seeds you'll feel them swelling. They aren't noticeable until they burst open revealing the orange insides and bright red seeds. Pattie
