OddlyAude- Celtis Ehrenbergiana- #1

[Oddly_Aude]

Also known as spiny hackberry, often referred to (incorrectly) as Celtis pallida by authors.

I've joined a Texas native plant group on Facebook to see if they have any info on germinating seeds, but it's a subtropical species, so I'm assuming it doesn't need cold stratification. Here's hoping the seeds arrive soon!

USPS had my package and it got from Arizona to Pennsylvania yesterday. No ETA yet, but I'm assuming that it should be here by Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

The seeds arrived and they're already much softer than the other seeds after like 10 minutes of soaking in hot water.

Definitely will be planted tomorrow.

They got soft fast. Like within a couple hours. I dunno if the seeds were fresher or what-have-you, but after 4-5 hours, soaking, I plopped them in their new home.

It might be a plastic utensil container.
