Black Cherry Tree Seeds (Prunus serotina) Hardy-3 Fast, Fall Color Flower Plant

July 8, 2026

Black Cherry Tree Seeds (Prunus serotina) Hardy-3 Fast, Fall Color Flower PlantBlack Cherry’s Wood is Considered Very Valuable for it’s Color. Tt is Used for Furniture, Instruments, Paneling, Toys and Handles. The Bark Provides a Cough Medicine; Wild Cherry Syrup, While it’s “Pitted Fruit” is Used to Make Jelly and Wine and Can be Used as a Seasoning as Well. Prunus serotina is a medium-sized, fast-growing forest tree growing to a height of 50–80 ft (15–24 m). Leaves are 2–5 in (5–13 cm) long, ovate-lanceolate in shape, with finely toothed margins. Fall leaf color is yellow to red. Flowers are small, white and 5-petalled, in racemes 4–6 in (10–15 cm) long which contain several dozen flowers. The flowers give rise to reddish-black “berries” (drupes) fed on by birds, 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) in diameter. For about its first decade the bark of a black cherry tree is thin, smooth, and banded, resembling a birch. A mature tree has very broken, dark grey to black bark. The leaves are long and shiny, resembling a sourwood’s. An almond-like odor is released when a young twig is scratched and held close to the nose, revealing minute amounts of cyanide compounds produced and stored by the plant as a defense mechanism against herbivores. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best in moist, fertile loams in full sun. Young trees develop a long tap root which makes transplanting difficult.Zones 3-9Black Cherry Germination:1) Soak seeds for 12 hours in warm water.2) Cold stratify by placing seeds in a zip lock bag filled with moist peat moss or vermiculite. Place in the fridge for 120 days. Periodically check to ensure they do not dry out. Keep moist, but never wet. This will break the seeds dormancy.3) Plant seeds in a moist & well draining seed starting mix.4) Use a heated propagator to keep the temperature at 75 degrees F.5) Expect germination within 2 weeks.

Crape Myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica, Tree Seeds (Fast, Showy, Fall Color)

July 8, 2026

Crape Myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica, Seeds (Mixed Colors) Fast Growing, Showy Flowering Shrub/Tree, Exfoliating Bark, Fall Color, Bonsai, Drought Tolerant Crape Myrtle is a deciduous, upright, spreading, multi-stemmed shrub. Features dark green foliage turning dull reddish-orange in fall, grayish-brown bark which exfoliates with age and terminal. Beautiful, inflorescence white, pink, red, or lavender flowers that bloom on 6 to 12 inch long panicles in mid-June and last up to 120 days. Flowers give way to round seed capsules which often persist well into winter. From the showy flowers to the superb bark and foliage, the Crape Myrtle is a favorite landscape plant throughout the South. Crape Myrtles are found as far north as Baltimore, Maryland, but they are better suited for warmer regions of the country. In the North winter injury is a problem and plants will grow much smaller. It must have full sun or powdery mildew will become a problem. Crape Myrtles are a valuable landscape plant that can be used as a shrub or small tree, ranging in size from 18 inches to over 25 feet. As an asset to almost any landscape, the Crape Myrtle is a very beautiful specimen shrub or tree, often used in groups under planted with a ground cover. The dark green foliage contrasts the gray to tan shades of the handsome bark. Crape Myrtle can be used as hedges, screens, or in masses. Planted in this manner, Crape Myrtle offers a grand display of color throughout the summer months. Common Name: Crape Myrtle Zone: 6 to 9 Growth Rate: Fast to Medium Plant Type: Deciduous flowering shrub or small tree Family: Lythraceae Native Range: China and Korea Height: 10 to 30 feet Spread: 15 to 25 feet Bloom Time: 120 days, June – September Bloom Color: white, pink, red, or lavender Flower/Fruit: Very showy 6 to 12 inch long clustered blooms (panicles). The fruits that follow are brown or black. When mature they dry and split releasing disk shaped seeds. Fall Color: Showy orange, red and yellow. Sun: Full Sun Water: Medium Maintenance: Medium Drought Tolerance: High Soil Tolerances: clay; loam; sand; acidic; alkaline; well-drained Site Requirements: Full Sun, well drained soil; protect from drying winds. General Culture: Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Does well in loamy, clay soils with good drainage. Susceptibility to winter injury. Plant in a protected location and apply a good winter mulch. Growing crape myrtles in extreme cold areas can be tricky because the above ground branches often die to the ground in winter, particularly when temperatures dip below -5 degrees F. Above ground branches are considered to be winter hardy to USDA Zone 7, whereas roots are usually but not always hardy to USDA Zone 5. Colder areas can grow these plants as woody shrubs by pruning them back to live wood in spring at the time new foliage begins to appear (in somewhat the same manner as with shrub roses). With protection, top growth will survive some winters, but will still suffer significant injury or die to the ground in harsh winters. Uses: Good as a specimen shrub or in groups. Quite effective as a tall screen or informal hedge. Excellent container plants or Bonsai. Sowing Crape Myrtle Seeds: The seeds of Crape Myrtle are very small. For best results, please follow the instructions in the order provided. Scarify: Soak in water 24 Hours Stratify: Cold 30 days, 40 Degrees F in a Moist Medium. Germination: Sow indoors 1/16” or less.

FAST GROWING TREE SEEDS: Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharum) | Size: 10-100 | Native

July 8, 2026

Fresh Sugar Maple Tree Plant Seeds & Inside US Fast Shipping Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum Tree (Northern Source) Brilliant Fall Colors, Shade Tree, Bonsai, Attracts Birds, Wildlife Food/Shelter, Wind and Urban Tolerant Sugar Maple is a large, moderate to slow growing, long lived deciduous tree. It will typically grow 40 to 80 feet tall (sometimes to 100 feet) with a large dense, rounded crown and a trunk up to 3 feet in diameter. It is one of the giants of the forest providing abundant shade and beautiful fall foliage. Sugar Maple has deeply furrowed gray bark which turns almost black when wet. Its leaves are medium green, opposite, palmately lobed (3 to 6 inches wide with 3 to 5 lobes) turning brilliant yellow, orange and red in autumn. Fruit are two-winged horseshoe-shaped samaras about 1 inch long, appearing in clusters, brown when mature in the fall. Sugar Maple grows about 1 foot each year in most soils but is sensitive to reflected heat and to drought, turning the leaves brown (scorch) along their edges. Leaf scorch from dry soil is often evident in areas where the root system is restricted to a small soil area, such as a street tree planting. It is more drought tolerant in open areas where the roots can proliferate into a large soil space. Sugar Maple is a main component of the Eastern U.S. hardwood forest and is one of the trees which are most responsible for giving New England its reputation for spectacular fall color. This majestic tree is an excellent choice for larger landscapes, parks, and estates. It is not particularly tolerant of air pollution, though. Native Americans taught the early colonists how to tap these trees to make maple syrup which has now become a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S. and Canada. It’s an important timber tree in the forest products trade, as well as the source of maple syrup and sugar, a major industry in the northeastern U.S. The sap is tapped from the trees in early spring and then boiled down until it is thick enough to be called syrup. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Don’t try this in the kitchen – you’ll have a layer of sticky film on the walls and ceiling. Charcoal made from Sugar Maple is used to “mellow” Jack Daniels® whiskey. Sow seed directly outdoors in the fall or plant stratified seed in the spring. Seed of the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) should be stratified for 40 to 90 days at 33 to 41 F, while seed of the Plant the seed (fruit) 1/4 to 1 inch deep.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US ZH-CN X-NONE Seeds Germination: Plant the seeds about three-quarters of an inch (2 cm.) deep in moist peat moss or folder the paper towel, then place them in a plastic bag inside the refrigerator for 60 to 90 days. Place the pots in a warm location when they come out of the refrigerator, and once they germinate, place them in a sunny window. Keep the soil moist at all times Stratification is achieved either by sowing maple seeds outdoors in the fall in temperate or cold regions or by refrigerating the maple in an appropriate medium. Placing the seeds and moist, but not wet, peat moss, sand, perlite or vermiculite in a bag or container with a small opening or holes to allow slight air flow and re-moistening the medium as needed to prevent drying is key to maintaining the stratification environment. The ideal length and temperature for stratification varies between maple species, but most germinate best following 40 to 90 days of cold treatment at 33 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. When several of the seeds begin to sprout, they are ready to plant. Customer Service:Your success is our success.
