Did you have to clean the seeds, Steve? Where do you get all your different seed from?

Dean, Sent you a PM, These are easy seeds to clean, just an overnight soak and the seed pops right out.

Wes, I'm not really sure, L. chinensis is reported to be doing well in Z8. Some L. saribus also went through the 1989 freeze in Florida with no damage.
