collecting caragana seeds yesterday

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

collecting caragana seeds yesterday. They ripen unevenly, so some pods were green, others were popped open and empty, the rest were tan brown and ripe. Siberian pea shrub is easy to grow from seed, no stratification needed and you can have 3 ft seedlings after a few months. They’re usually grown as a hedge, but if pruned as a single small tree they can look very attractive.
