Hi, I just recently began sowing some trees from seeds. Sycamore, Horse Chestnut, Common Oak etc and I have to say I get a great buzz from seeing them grow.

Im waiting for the Holm Oak in September in Kilkenny Castle to shed its acorns so I can grow a few of those.

So basically would anybody be interested in trading some seeds from various trees here? At the moment I'm specifically looking for Quercus Rubra (Red Oak) , Aesculus x carnea 'Briotti' (Red Chestnut - these may be sterile though) and Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple) but I cant find any in my area.

Any comments or suggestions?

growing from seed is great fun but can be very slow , beware of Ebay sites that tell you otherwise, they just want a sale/sell !!

if they sink, they're viable. also can be used to test hazelnuts.
