Angophora costata fruit 3S children seeing if the Angophora costata fruit is releasing the seed. The children put 3 seeds in each pot, put sand over the top and then watered them. They have taken the tray of pots back to class to be watered and kept in the sun for a few weeks. Mrs Stewart is going to take the seedlings home over the summer holidays and keep watering them for us so we can plant them early next year when we are in 4th Grade.
