There are trident maples at 3 different locations around me dropping what seem to be fully ripe seeds? The outside are brown, inside green, and the trees by now have dropped about 75% of them.
As where, from what I read, red maples commonly do drop them in May. However, the red maple tree seeds here are still green and not ready to drop.
1. Do you think the trident seeds I planted will germinate? They are dropping off the tree, brown on the outside, green on the inside. They did not sink in water.
2. Should I dry store them and plant in fall?
3. Is it possible the ones I planted will germinate next year?
All the trident seeds I have germinated followed the standard stratification then plant in spring. I purchased them, so I don't know what the timing was.
I guess I figured, "why would they drop all the seeds if it wasn't the right time?"
Thanks
