Chrysolepis chrysophylla

[zundao]

Hello you all.
Mr. Barstow told me in his mail, I should try this forum for my enquiry. For many years now I´m searching some seeds of Chrysolepis chrysophylla, but was not able to find any. Do someone here know, where I can get some seeds of this plant or where I can find a source?
Seeds of Chrysolepis sempervirens I found this spring. The seedlings do well so far. But even Californian nurseries don´t have seeds in stock.
So maybe here I will find help. This would be great.

Welcome, Zundao.... I wish you luck in your search for these tree seeds.

Do you know the IOS (International Oak Society)? There are members from California. Must send a mail, to find out the person doing the seed exchange currently.

Thank you for wishing me luck in my search and thank you for the first hint.

Another possibility to find contacts, is the University of British Columbia Botanical garden Forums, where they have a specific forum about Fagaceae:
