Hey Deb,

I just pulled some fruit off of my prunus spinosa a few weeks ago.  Some were right off of the small trees (2) others were off of a few branches that I trimmed off about two weeks before that.  I would think they are most likely all viable but the ones off of the cut branches may have become too dry.  I will have to double check.  I think I still have some on the trees as well.  

I have a p. munsoniana but, it is only a foot high.  For seeds  I would check with Oikos Tree Crops.  They are the source of my prunus munsoniana.  They have begun sellng seeds from quite a few of their offerings.  Even if they are not offering P. munsoniana online, or in their catalog, giving them a call may get you some seeds.  

I will see what I have left on my prunus spinosa and let you know.

Have a Great Autumn!
