>>Along these lines. You may remember I offered some Amorph kuisianus seed
last year and the day before I was to ship them all out I had a problem
with grandkid finger blight and the seeds disappeared to be later located
in the ground close by 'planted'. Well a year has passed and I'm wondering
about the estate (not really) and notice in a totally different part of the
woods a young kuisianus seedling where I have never had one and I don't
believe the grandkids put them. Is there any record of this species over
wintering as deposited seed? Maybe this is the case of a bird highjacking.<<
