Colorectal Surgeon vs. Gastroenterologist. Many patients often do not know if they need to see a Colon and Rectal Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist for their symptoms or condition. Moreover, even more are confused as to the difference between a Colon and Rectal Surgeon and a Gastroenterologist. The differences between the two specialties can be quite large.
Magnolia stellata needs a cold period (at least 2 to 3 months) for germination. I sow freshly cleaned seed in rounds (multiple seeds per pot) and place in a critter-proof frame outdoors (chipmunks, squirrels, and other animals love to eat the seed and/or dig through the rounds to bury their nuts).
How long seeds remain viable depends on the type of seed and how well it is stored. To store them for the longest time, be certain they are completely dry, to the point of being brittle, before you pack them away. Then keep them in an air tight container out of direct sunlight.
