Speaking of native trees...
.... has anyone had any success at propagating _Buckinghamia celsissima_
from seed? I've had a few goes at it, but have never even got as far as germination! I was wondering whether the seeds might need to be scarified or soaked or smoked or burnt (sorry for the bad timing!)? Any suggestions most gratefully received! :-) -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

Trish,
In the book Growing Australian Native Plants from seed by Murray Ralph it says:- "Seed germinates easily if sown fresh. For B.celisissima remove the seed from the green fruits before sowing. Lightly cover seed. Seed loses viability over 3-5 years". If you are sowing them fresh maybe try and get the seeds from another source. Hope this has helped David Trish Brown wrote in : ... has anyone had any success at propagating _Buckinghamia celsissima_ from seed?

I picked my fruits long after the 'green' stage, having waited until they were dried and black and 'ripe'. Maybe that was my error! Will try again next year. :-) -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |
