Seeing as you know a bunch about planting seeds and turning them into trees, I have a question for you.

The kids and I gathered about a dozen buckeyes in the husk almost a week ago. What is the proper procedure for turning them into trees?

Not sure why I want a buckeye tree, but I do.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best method I've found to grow trees from seeds is to plant the seeds...



In seriousness, plant the seeds outside in a prepared soil like a garden, protect them from the squirrels and dig them up and transplant in the spring

Donner, should I plant them in the husk, or should I shuck them first?

I'll leave that one for Keith, my personal knowledge of buckeyes is low

I peel the husk off, store them in a ziploc bag, in the fridge, for the winter.

I plant them in the spring.

Put a wet paper towel in the ziploc bag.

I guess Keith is out stratifying next years seeds or isn't a Buckeye fan.
