Crinodendron Hookerianum

Back in September I mentioned the seeds I'd come across on the Crinodendron in my garden.



I checked info on the web to see if they would grow true and also how to propagate them. It was suggested to pot them up and leave them outside for a cold spell over winter. I placed them in a spot facing north on 15th September. But - with a warm, dry autumn, the seeds thought differently and all but one have germinated. I didn't expect any of them to germinate.

With snow promised next week I've brought them in and will pot them on this weekend, hoping they don't grow too rapidly.

 

They probably thought winter was over.
Bit tricky overwintering now, you probably need a frost free greenhouse.

 

Warm overnight temperatures haven't helped either @pete.

I haven't got a greenhouse yet and no cool room to put them in so it's going to be tricky. Even my porch faces south so is warmed by the sun. At the current rate they're growing triffids spring to mind.
