Re: seeds
Don't pick them, tie a cloth bag over them when you think it is close to time.

Re: seeds
Handy Mick is spot on, given the amount there are two options I can see.
1. Place in an enclosed area, in a corner and let it shed them. Collect as they fall, so the don't blow away.
2. Use bird netting the 1.5cm net may let 1 or 2 small seeds though but will catch the rest.
Hope this helps.

Re: seeds
hi handy
i could use red and green bags under the tree but i think i might just go moving the pot onto a small cement area with a double brick around it to catch all in the little area
cheers guys and thanks for input
