In my area of the thick wood, we are lucky enough to host both european hop hornbeam and 'american' hornbeam ( I believe they are Ostrya virginiana and Carpinus cariloneana respectively). And by fall both the trees and the ground are covered with catkins and seeds. My questions are: What is the success rate with hornbeam seeds and is it possible to trade any of these seeds for another specie? Are these seeds actually worth trading for? How can I go about collecting and preparing these seeds for propogation?

Thanks in advance for the help
