Really appreciate you taking the time to show the different stages of propagation, and not just planting the seeds.

[BEINGSTUBBORN]

So much appreciated for showing years of steps to grow the dogwood trees from seeds. I just got some fruits and will follow your steps. Fingers crossed!

[Sydnyb]

I’m very great full for your dedication to making this video.

Thank you for taking the time to show this process from start to finish. I've seen so many videos that do the seed gathering only to read in the comments that they all failed.

[tonycasey]

Very comprehensive thank you from Ireland

Do you have to cover them in the winter and also do they need sunlight

[bevdevilller]

What do you do with the plants in pots for winter

[avishah]

Love this! Might have questions as I proceed with this process.

Hi. Quick question. During stratification, do you need to change out the paper towel for new wet pieces? Or will the moisture hold for the entire duration? Thanks.

[marisasanchez]

I’m looking forward to trying this plant out one day in the near future hopefully 🙏🏼 What does the fruit taste like?

Hey could you do a video on how to grow Cornus Florida from seed? Just wanna grow some native dogwoods from seed but I don't know how.

Hi I just pricked out one dogwood seedling of mine, and did yours have a hairy upper stem just after the first two leaves, also a central protrusion going along the underside of the first two leaves? I'm trying to identify if I actually got them to grow where I mushed up the fruit and covered in soil last fall, or did I pick out a weed. Perhaps I'll email you if this description doesn't help with some images I'm trying to start my own nursery out here in the Pacific Northwest so would appreciate any guidance. Not a lot of information or images online showing what a kousa dogwood at seedling stage looks like or how to identify one so hopefully you can help me out, thanks!

How long does it take seedling to start blossoms? Thanks, .

[smurfiennes]

Can I just drop the seeds in the garden and wait?

[alexbourgon]

Why do your seeds look like that? My seeds look like irregularly formed small white/yellow raisons
