packing some boxelder seeds, collected mid September right at their peak for the best germination. Maple / Acer seeds don’t have a long shelf life so you want to get them as fresh as possible. We have these and some Red maple collected just a couple months ago, dried in brown paper bags in a fridge. The grocery stores are here switch to paper so I’m always looking for more ways to re-use the bags. #boxelder #treeseeds
