Davidia involucrata (handkerchief tree)

Well done Gg, I hope more germinated seed still to come for you. Sorry to hear no flowers this year.

This is certainly one for the patient gardener. Well done.

thanks both , and Jaykaty for the likes.

yes Paul only another 10 to 15 years to wait for it to flower, it was lucky as I have kept all the pots at the side of the house (out of the way) and when I noticed something had sprouted I picked up the pot and found a huge slug sitting underneath !!!
I waited for the true leaves to develop to make sure before I posted, at least I know the seeds are viable , a couple of member's on here have had seed from me over the past two years so hopefully they will be fortunate as well.
One being the salvia expert we all know ....

Hi Waddy (thanks)
I put them in a pot with gravel on top and a label and anyone could do that , I didn't do anything else.....

Hi Marjorie sorry to hear you havnt been well , hopefully being back home will help , I will keep a look out for photos of the fuchsias (no rush) I have posted a picture of one of mine thats in flower now you may have seen it ?

Gg

Well done Gg!, thanks for doing this blog I now know what to look out for next spring ;-)

its a pleasure Simbad and a good idea for me to post a photo

Wow GG. What a rewarding result!
Congratulations,
Jens

I'm glad to see a picture of a seedling. My neighbour has a tree close to my fence and I have a good view of it (better then he has), it has flowered for the last 5 years and dropped seeds in my garden - I've probably been pulling them up not knowing what they are!
