Western Washington: Bill Newton's Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) trees seeds

Here is my correspondence with Bill about his Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. He had sent me a bunch of these seeds and I am wondering if Tree Project participants would like some of these tree seeds.

Hiroshi I live in western Washington and my home is in the middle of a forest mostly Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. At the moment I have some Douglas Fir seeds collected over the last few weeks. I don't sell them but send them to anyone interested in starting them. I start many species from seed mostly conifers. Let me know if you are interested. I would need an address to send them to. Have a great day! Bill Newton

Bill,

Once I used to live in Bellingham WA for 6 months about 18 years ago. I would love Cedar seeds. Please send me these seeds. I would send you back some stamps for the shipping. It sounds like you live in a very peaceful environment.

Best Regards,
Hiroshi

Hiroshi Now that Christmas is over I will send the seeds this week. I will include some Douglas Fir seeds and if you find anyone interested please pass them on.
I went out to the nearest Cedar tree which is about four feet thick and shook a limb and the seeds rained down. Good luck with the growing. Best Regards, Bill

PS Please don't worry about the postage.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC War, beauty, and survival Vanessa Albury, Jesse Bransford, Jacob Cohen, Mila Geisler, Pamela Jue, Caroline Polachek, Max Razdow, Hiroshi Sunairi Curated by Jan Van Woensel During the Cold War, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) planned to broadcast The Sound of Music on radio in the event of a nuclear strike on the United Kingdom. The show would be part of an emergency timetable of programs designed to "reassure" the public in the aftermath of the attack. An altered, simplified and popular version of the life of Maria Augusta von Trapp (1905 – 1987) is depicted in the 1965 movie musical The Sound of Music . In Salzburg, Austria, before the outbreak of the Second World War, Maria wedded naval commander Georg Ritter von Trapp. Partly due to strong economic pressures from Germany, the family lost their fortune in 1935.
