Thread: Unknown Seed

  1. #1
    Please help me identify this seed. I found it on a walk in the Colorado River. I live in Southern Nv. and walk in the river all the time. I found a seed floating down the river and wonder what tree or shrub it will grow into when it arives at it's destination. Today is Thursday 19 July. I will check for replies within the next 7 days. Thank you for your help. The seed is about 1 inch in diamater, rounded but coming to a point at the top. flat on one side and round on the other. It is coffee brown darker on the rounded side. Sorry I don't have a picture. Thank you again. nanadragon.

    Hi Nanadragon,

    I would suggest you contact a local university or your local extension service for help with this.* The seed could be from just about anywhere up-river, but a local source would probably give you the best chance for an id.

    Oh, and you shouldn't have to keep checking back if you checked the box for e-mail notification when you registered.* If you aren't certain or don't receive a notice that I've replied, you can click on 'My Account at the top of this page, then click on 'Preferences'.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    You are very welcome!* If you get an id I'd love to know what it is.
