Do any of you recall...last Fall I collected Star Magnolia seeds (discussion here regarding how it is done to start one) Well, I know they are VERY slow growers but since I had the seeds I tried! Here it is August & I see them coming where I left my marker & tag! I was talking to myself when I spotted them! OMG Now what to do with them before the cold sets in? They would never survive an Ohio winter? Still so pleased that I could do this.
Muddy, first...congrats! Way to go! Now, wonder if they would survive if you made some kind of wire container around them & filled it full of leaves this fall? Or covered them with a big pot & covered it with something to keep the ground around it from freezing??

If I keep them in the ground its about all I can think to do but would sure make me happy to still see them there next Spring! We'd be having a cyber party here for sure!
