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!
