Trees with Seeds
/And the dogwoods.
And maples (some trees shed their samaras in the spring…others, like these at Brookside Gardens, wait until the fall)
And red buckeyes with the buckeye nut showing where the mottled brown and green husk has cracked.
The sycamore seeds will get softer…the balls feeling almost ‘furry’ by the time they break apart dispersing the small seeds in the spring. Each bump on this immature seed ball will become a sycamore seed! When I show tulip poplar and sycamore seeds to preschoolers on spring field trips, they are always awestruck my how small they are compared to the trees!
