Pocket Handkerchief Tree Seed Pods (Davidia Involucrata)

Continuing the seed pod theme, here are some seed pods from the pocket handkerchief tree which I picked up off the ground in Hergest Croft Gardens. You don't see these trees very often anywhere and I've never seen them for sale. I really like them but they are huge when fully grown. Perhaps we can try and grow one in a pot 😂. Apparently we have to leave these seed pods on the windowsill until they dry up and reveal the seeds inside.

I e seen photos of that tree so wish you luck in your endeavours! Will watch with interest.

Interesting, I hope you let us see the seeds when they are ripe.

[Judith Johnson]

Interesting. I thought they were little figs at first. I hope you have success with growing them.

Good luck with the tree growing

If anyone can grow a tree from seed, it would be Chris and you, Sue! Do keep us posted!

Good luck. I’ve seen these lovely trees blooming in public gardens before.
