Collecting Seeds From Southeastern US Woodland Species

Abstract:

In order to collect seeds from a wide range of southeastern
US woodland species with diverse dispersal strategies, specially
made collection bags are placed over plants. After collection,
seeds are separated from debris with a strainer and
further cleaned with a fanning mill. This method can be
used for efficient collection of large numbers of seeds at
ideal ripeness, in a nursery or in the wild.
