Yeah I stand corrected. It’s a crepe.

I collected seed from very old trees along the highway between Wagga and Hay, both green and blue foliage, and had no trouble germinating without stratification. I harvested plump,intact cones and let them dry out in a paper bag first.

That's what I'll do next time Grant, take them from the actual tree, rather than pick them up off the ground underneath.

Surprise surprise, this one is pink.

Hoping that some of the other seedlings will throw diff colours...

Hi Grant,

I "harvest" crepe myrtle seed when I visit the big green shed.

Often their CM's have a lot of seed pods on them and you get to choose the colour too. I put them in a paper bag and just wait for them to open. I've had a good strike rate with them and it saves them from falling on the concrete to be swept up with the rubbish

Cheers, Frank.
