I love my Golden leadball tree and how it is withstanding this drought without any water. I want more. Germination is all about finding the secret for that particular plant and sometimes I do not have the info or I do not know how to read the info , or I don't believe it and do something else anyway. LOL. Last year I collected some seeds but I did not plant them till this spring. I poored boiling water over them and let them cool off as per directions from Jill Nokes. I am only getting a few (3) out of a slew of seeds, some months later.

My tree flowered this year and the seeds are crinkly brown but not slitting, so I did harvest them. I poored boiling water over them and let them cool again but Immediately this time.Same day. I planted them and now I have ALL of them sprouting 2 days later! That was quick. A whole forest of them!!! Way mor than I want . LOL. I am going to flick some of them out and put themn in tall pots. By the way , Jill Nokes did mention that they germinated more readily during the first year and I did niot listen to that tid bit.

This tree is native to west Texas. I think it grows in washes.
