Thanks but I’m looking for seed. I will actually make seedling cuttings of them. Gets rid of taproot and starts the way to a great nebari

Chinese quince root very well from cutting. Saves you a bunch of years and it's good to know the color of the flowers already.

Have you done seedling cuttings with deciduous trees before? Reason I ask, the technique is usually limited to pines. Generally, it is not viewed as necessary for deciduous.

Sheffield Seeds is my go to for seed.

Persimmon seeds don't grantee same fruit color or shape from the month plant. That's why you see so many different versions in Asia.

Most broadleaf deciduous you can just clip the taproot after a few months and continue on with the sideroots already there. Absolutely no reason for seedling cuttings here.

I’ve done seedling cuttings with Stewartia monadelpha with great results. And it doesn’t set back the top growth much compared to Just straight seed sprouting. Besides, I like the process. Thanks for the help folks
