How do you grow a magnolia tree from seed?


Question:i dont know how to start one from seed and take root. my mother and i have tried various ways,burning the seed, etc. can you please help. only serious answers please. thank you.

Answers:
Allow the magnolia cone to ripen on the tree. Remove the cone from the tree and let the cone dry. The fleshy fruits will fall freely from the cone when properly dried. Soak the seeds in liquid detergent and warm water for 1-2 days to remove the waterproof coating. Remove from the detergent water and remove any remaining flesh from the seeds. Dry the seeds with a paper towel. Place the seeds in a zip lock bag with moistened peat, vermiculite or sand and refrigerate for at least two months. Now your seeds are ready to be planted. Remember that seeds should not be planted deeper than two times their diameter.
