Hi Wollemi,

I think John told me mid to late Fall for Trachies in the Northwest...

I remember getting Foxtail seeds around December, the grower said they were picked fresh in Florida.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Barb is right, you'll probably want to harvest them sometime around December.
