Hello all,
I harvested some seeds of the Texas Mountain Laurel, Sophora secundiflora.
Inside the hard seed is a red, soft seed. One source I have says to scarify
the seed. Does anyone have any more information about this species. I
haven't checked on-line sources yet, just thought I'd present this question
to the list as well.
About the stevia. The plant has very small flowers in clusters on the tips
of the branches. I'd like to collect the seed. I've never grown this plant
before and don't want to miss the seed. So, can anyone give me some
harvesting tips?
Thanks, Cindy in TX, Z8/9
