I know the seeds are most viable when first harvested. These seeds are freshly harvested, and some are already growing in my yard. I have trees that grew over 15 ft. in one year. The taste of the leaves, and young pods are similar to asparagus.
I recommend planting soon, and use a mix of manure, sand, and soil for best results. Best to plant in yard in a sunny spot. Some seeds sprout in a matter of days, others a week or so. This is a fun tree, if left un-pruned it will take on the shape of a drumstick after years of growth with most of the foliage left at top of tree. Honestly, its best to prune it in winter, or start of spring to promote bushy growth, for more leaf, and flower production. Grows easily in zone 9, and hotter climates.
