In order to collect seeds from a wide range of southeastern US woodland species with diverse dispersal strategies, specially made collection bags are placed over plants. After collection, seeds are separated from debris with a strainer and further cleaned with a fanning mill. This method can be used for efficient collection of large numbers of seeds at ideal ripeness, in a nursery or in the wild.
