My husband and I toured The Hermitage, President Andrew Jackson's home, in Tennessee in early May of this year. There was a giant Empress Tree growing outside the big house back towards the kitchen. I picked up some tan colored downy looking seed pods from under the tree, thinking that it was an individual seed. I planted about four of them. These plants came up, but I had to separate them because several came up right together. Then I found the pictures of Empress Tree seeds on the internet and learned that each pod had many tiny seeds in them. So, I believe that these are baby Empress Trees for the huge tree at The Hermitage. Do they look like they are? I was afraid there might have been some other seeds in the dirt I collected from an old pot, but because of where the seeds came up, I'm pretty sure they are the Empress Trees. I appreciate any input. Thanks.
I googled for images of seed pods from the Royal Paulonia tree and got this: [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] Click on that first photo and see if it looks like your seed pods.
edited again to add the link to our Plant Files database: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] no seed pod photo's but someone shows a picture of a little sapling ... see if it looks like yours.
To me the leaves in the picture appear succulent in nature and very scalloped.I don't think it's a pansy or viola,but it could just be my perception of the photo.Lynn
