Magnolia seed.
« on: October 01, 2015, 08:35:38 PM »
I have small quantities of the following fresh Magnolia seed, looking for homes:
Magnolia campbellii (from cv. 'Charles Raffill')
Magnolia salicifolia (from fastigiate form)
Magnolia amoena.

..and a fresh lot of Magnolia sieboldii seed.

Requires the same treatment as previous seed offered.

I wouldn't mind some seeds of M. salicifolia; I think it is the only one I can attempt to grow here in Ontario. Can I offer you few seeds of
M. tripetala?

Gabriela  - You'd be fine with M. amoena and M. sieboldii.

Thank you John. I didn't do my homework well   :o The flowers of M. sieboldii reminded me of other tender Magnolias and I wrongly assumed it wouldn't be hardy here.

It seems I can be greedy and also ask few of M. sieboldii. Thank you.

If possible, I'd like M. salicifolia, too.  I will send a PM with possible exchanges.  Thank you.  I do have a M. sieboldii with good provenance, and it does well here in USDA zone 4a.
