I am a graduate student doing work with sugar maples and unfortunately just found out that I have the funding to start a project. I'm looking for sugar maple seeds that have already been cold-stratified and are ready to go. I've tried calling nurseries, both commercial and state-run, as well as research centers working with sugar maples and have had no luck. I need approx. 50 seeds to be sure that I can get enough seedlings in the next ~2 months. I'm completely willing to crawl around under trees looking for seeds on the ground, but don't have the experience needed to identify seeds that have been on the ground since fall.

Does anyone know of a source? or have any other suggestions??

Thank you!

Can anyone tell me how to take a cutting off of an existing Wisteria plant & root it? I do not want to dig it up since the roots seem to be in China-lol. Last year, I tried to purchase this vine from Lowe's but the piece I bought did not take well at all and died quickly.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm getting married and I'm hoping to be able to hold the rehearsal dinner at my house, but I'm concerned about how long we should wait before letting people walk on the new lawn. Anyone have any idea?

We purchased a home in February and there is a large shrub out there right now that I am considering removing. It's probably 5 feet high now. It has long woody branches, Red berries not round, but oblong and when I trimmed some of it, The flesh/wood was very yellow. I don't know the leaves as it has not been warm enough to grow yet but this bush is in the middle of our yard and keeps scratching us and the dogs while we are out there. But i do not want to destroy it unless I know what it is first. We are in MN if that matters.

The border/flower bed in question is at the bottom of the garden, at the bottom of an incline that runs from an old railway bank 150 yards up the road. The border already has a few small but mature trees and a couple of shrubs. There also a cover that I believe is a drain right in the middle of the bed. all the rain seems to end up here and it's very heavy soil below the surface with lots and lots of roots.

I have thought about adding further topsoil to raise it a little, would this work and can I cover the drain cover?

How do I lift the grass and add a few inches of dirt under it? It only need to be done in some spots. There's a big drop off the driveway and a few other random spots that collect water. Do I need a special kind of shovel? Or would it be better to add dirt and seed and wait for the grass to come through?

I was watering my potted lemon tree the other day and noticed after the water was absorbed there was a little movement in the dirt. After looking closer I saw a bunch of little what looked like centipedes of some type scurrying around. This plant is indoors so they couldn't have come from outside. Are these types of bugs usual for this tree? Does anyone know what they are? They seem to only surface after watering the plant.

I recently purchased a jasmine plant for a friend of mine. Before I gave it to her I noticed some little white/beige colored pod like things on the soil. The are perfectly round and seem moist inside. I gathered them and am saving them in hopes that they are seeds and that I may be able to plant them. The jasmine is the climbing one with small white flowers. Are what I gathered seeds?

I have a lot of fence that I would like to cover. I've seen how cherry tomatoe and strawberry babylon bags do it but I can't have my whole fence with nothing but cherry tomatoes and strawberries so can anyone tell anymore vegetables and flowers that are viney? I already have tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, peppers, squash, melons, and beans on my list. For the flowers please tell me how often will I have to replant them.

I have a strip of lawn in the front of my house that I want to turn into a little flower garden. How do I go about it, because all that is there now is grass? Do I just dig up all the grass chunks along with the dirt? Is there anything to do to stop the grass from growing back? Any help would be appreciated.
