Does anyone know how to grow red cedar from the "seeds" it produces?
I have a brand new electric fence but when that needs to be replaced in 20 years, I'd like to have grown one made of hedge, honey locust and cedar to double as a wind break.

it's probably a delicate operation a bit more complicated than growing mushrooms
sprouting psychotria viridis seeds, now that's a mission, takes months
i'm sure that it can be done, it just probably naturally only happens under a very cosy pile of mulch with stable temps and humidity over a long period, and may first require a cool period to simulate a winter
They're basically an invasive native where I live. Since wildfires don't happen anymore, they're prolific. Moving sprouts is bad luck or I'd do that.
why bad luck?
maybe just treat it like an archaeological dig, be really careful to not to cut the dirt within 2ft of the sprout in every direction and douse it with b vitamins and kelp/aloe juice and pray
