In January of this year I winter sowed some Golden chain tree seeds I had received in '06. They were among a seed stash of a friend who passed in '06, and there were several things I'd never even considered attempting to grow from seed in there. Without doing any research, and in a rush to get the seeds sown before they got too old, I used the winter sowing method as it seemed appropriate for trees and shrubs.
Well, it worked great for these! So now I've got a bunch of healthy looking seedlings still in the winter sowing container, looking surprisingly good in spite of the restricted space. What should I do with them now? I know nothing of this plant, other than I've always admired them in pictures. I'm wondering if they are hardy enough at this small stage to overwinter in the ground. I could pot them and hold them in the basement, or cover them with mulch against the foundation if those are better options. They look very much like the seedling pic in Plantfiles:
I'm only planning to keep 3-5 of these seedlings, and there are at least a dozen in the container (I think closer to 20, but I'll count them today). If anyone would like to try them, I'd be happy to share them for postage.
Thanks,
Neal
