I soaked the red pods in water overnight & squeezed the seeds out, but mine are brown instead of black. I placed in a ziplock bag with moistened potting soil to plant after 3 months. TBD

What is the reason for the 3 months in the fridge?

Thanks for this well done video! So I tried with 7 seeds and have one that actually grew. I’m stoked about that, but what I need to know is when do I transplant it and to what or where? Isn’t there a certain age of the seedling that’s best to put it in the ground? I know it should be after the freeze, but should it just go into a bigger pot outside first for a year or so before putting it in the ground? Do I wait for four leaves before replanting? Help!

Wow- thanks, I work at a Parks Dept. We have some outstanding Magnolia trees and I am ready to harvest them!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Once I've forgot an almost gone onion in a ziplock bag in the fridge and when I was cleaning all, I found her with a bunch of roots! Of course I planted and worked for a little bit and fast! Now I got this "pine cone" from the floor of my condominium and there is a bunch of seeds! Will do the zip lock like you show and hope will be the same!!

What does it mean if the inner seed is white or lighter colored and not black?

"A bird with a splitting headache". Love it.

"A bird with a splitting headache" O my...fantastic description x nice one Steve 👍🏽

Enjoyed your video. Good, clear instructions. Definitely going to try this. Thanks for making the video!

Great video!

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to know!

Love your videos

Thank you for this amazing informative video! I have different specifies and have been wondering about seed propagation. Can you skip the refrigerator if you live in a cold zone? I am zone 6b. Or do you start them in seed trays and transplant in the spring after danger for frost is gone? Thank you so much!

What did you clean the seed with?

Refrigerator or freezer? I've seen both on various sites. We have a very large magnolia producing seeds currently. I found at least two pods putting out red seeds with more on the way.

I live in Central North Carolina and have the seeds - it is late October, get them out of the refrigerator in March or should get them out earlier?
