  • In this video I show the step by step process on how to collect, stratify, germinate and grow a magnolia tree from seed. Magnolias are beautiful trees and growing them from seed really isn't very hard. I wanted to share my experiences to help anyone else looking to grow one for themselves.
    Enjoy and Godbless!

    We were given 5 magnolia seeds from a tree that we'd planted at our first home ten years ago. The current owner met my bestie via a plant purchase and gave her the seeds to give to me ❤

    I grabbed seeds from my magnolia last October, did this, and now the first sapplings are coming up. Stratification was such a cool thing to see (btw I’d recommend the drawer in the garage rather than the fridge as the ones I put in the fridge were unsuccessful). Thank you for sharing, can’t wait to see how mine grow!

    • @MikeHunt-lz2hq
      @MikeHunt-lz2hq 2 роки тому +8

      The ones that go in the fridge need a period of time to wake back up .You can't go from fridge to dirt as that's not how nature works it goes from fall to winter then spring and summer .sounds like you took your seeds through winter ok but then put them directly into summer thinking they would go .after you take them from the fridge it's best to wait a few weeks after moving the seeds to a warmer area

    • @Brigitte-hf9oj

    I was at a park with my kids and found a seed pod(without the seeds on it). I thought it was very paculiar looking and felt oddly "furry". Out of weirdness, i hung onto it. 2 years later, i now know what it is. 😅🧐. I still have it and now am subsribed to your channel. You are very informative and take time to actually follow up with progression videos. Thanks so much.

    The first time I saw a Magnolia Tree was just a few months ago in Florida. The massive white blooms were absolutely breathtaking. My 9 yo daughter actually found a pod outside under the tree and thought I may be able to grow one of my own. After watching your video I realize it’s just the pod with no seeds on it. LOL!

      It’s funny how we learn about things with plants/seeds/gardening, in general! There’s so much trial and error, unless you actually look it up and learn about the process. Speaking of that I have several plants I need to look up like my avocado seedling plant, and how long till it can produce the fruit?…Vegetable?..Nut?

    Thanks so much for the video. Yes it looks quite easy. I grew up in Mississippi and I remember a magnolia in the backyard that was taller than the house. I would climb it to the top and mom would totally freak out. Now I'm looking to have a magnolia in my yard again, and I just had a massive (but dead) oak tree removed. I'm going to try to plant a magnolia in that space. This is how I prefer to honor my Mississippi heritage, with something that has no political affiliation.

      Just be patient. You posted this 10 months ago. I probably wouldn’t expect an air layer to be ready much sooner than 10-12 months. Layering can be really successful but it can take a long time. I think done conifers need more that 2 years to reliably root on lower limbs when layered, some stuff will root in week but not many trees.

    • @MikeHunt-lz2hq
      @MikeHunt-lz2hq 2 роки тому +4

      @@gigidi6816 when layering wait until the bag is full of roots before collecting then after you collect mix up some perlite pine bark and Pete moss and plant your air layer into a pot not much larger than the root mass just so you can put some of this free draining soil mix around the root mass . Then let the tree establish new roots and fill that pot with roots .once it becomes root bound you can then either up pot it or put it into the ground . Use a balanced fertilizer and feed it lots the first couple years but only feed after it's established itself bc the fertilizer can burn these fresh roots on air layers .

    Can I just add: even after watching this, I didn't fully appreciate how much of the bulk of the seed is that soft jacket, or how small and hard the kernel is. I soaked and was afraid to really squeeze at first because I thought I was damaging them! 🤣 In reality the part you want is a rock hard fraction of what you start with, and if it's healthy, you cannot damage it with your fingers.
    I now have several dozen chilling in a bag of dirt and am looking forward to some spring planting. Maybe the spring after next I'll share them around town.

    Use a 10" tall pot to start any tree. It'll give you the best growth for the first year. I use a 3.5" x 11" potting bag which are very inexpensive and great for "nursery" type applications, or if you are addicted to growing as most of us get lol

    Thanks for this informative video! Is there a specific type of soil or soil composition that you recommend when storing them in the plastic bag for winter? Thanks!
