Hi I have some very hardy canna seeds. They get tall like 10 feet if given enough room and the bulbs survive with no problem our zone 7 winter. They are tall spiky orange variety. Very tropical looking. Open to any banana seeds I don't have. Thanks Patrick

Ibartoo, the shell needs to be removed from the Mango and placed about half way into the soil then kept watered, not all will sprout. It will work much better if the shell has started to split and the seed has a small root started. Take a knife and feel along the edge of the more rounded side to find the gap where you can spit the shell off the seed. Do not expect to get any good fruit. From what I have read they say it will be sour and bitter. I have a tree growing in my backyard, but it has frozen twice all the way to the ground here in the Houston area. The root stock has to be at least 8 years old but still has never even bloomed let alone put on any fruit. But my wife loves the tree so I have never cut it down so far.

Cuttings should work very well and give fruit sooner than seeds

I've never harvested Magnolia figo personally both other mags are ready for harvest in the fall. The seeds turn red. Here's a link about magnolia with some pics of various seed pods: http://toptropicals.com/html/toptropicals/articles/trees/magnolia.htm I think there's a magnolia forum for more info.
