Other day i saw a tree with seeds pod like peas
3
Nice they are likely one of these
Eastern Redbud Tree the Honeylocust Tree and the Northern Catalpa
If you wait until to they drop to the ground. Thats when you know they have matured. You can collect some seeds. Then work on planting. Each one will have a different technique. You'll have to look that up once you determine the tree species.
I do this every fall in my area. I will collect seeds from one tree that have fallen. I collect them on dog walks.
Last year I planted Live Oaks. I have 12 of them.
This year I have collected White Oak seeds. I am going to keep them chilled in a little moist soil in a Tupperware through winter. Then plant in spring.
I'm starting transitioning mine outdoors for winter. I like to start them indoors to germinate and start so they can have a stable environment to start.
If you need tips for yours and want some recommendations for success just let me know. It is very fun and rewarding to collect seeds from local plants and grow them. I'm planning on keeping some of mine as bonsai.
If you can avoid planting in the ground to start because gophers do like to eat tender fresh tree roots.
