Totally not fair. You are rushing Christmas before we've had Halloween. My seed is till on the hoof. I missed my chance yesterday of Steev coming to help collect it all from the field. I am just jealous that your seed is ready. Attachments:

Well about 60% of the squash is still on the hoof, so I was jumping the gun a little. But I've been pushing it to get some more squash to Ray before squash season in Oz.

I would be happy to send you some white flowering hawthorne berries , I can tell you it is hardy past minus 20c in winter and had 5 months without water this summer with no ill effects. I have read they are not easy to start from seed and I have tried unsuccessfuly myself. If you would like to try it, I am crossing the border to mail from the US side this week so you can PM me if you would like.

hazelnuts, chestnuts, hawthorns, Seabuckthorn, mulberry Tim, If I can get more sea buckthorn root cuttings to take, I'll send you a male and a female. I've got a red mulberry that I'm trench layering for the first time. If it works, I can send you that too. I'm going to have a go at root cuttings on my Illinois Everbearing mulberry so you're welcome to that as well. Re: the hazels, are you looking for a particular cultivar? I've got a couple that have put up suckers. I don't know if they have roots or not and won't check until the spring. I'd send them to you in the fall after they've gone dormant. Propagating this stuff is pretty easy. About all you need is a well drained, sunny area for an eight inch deep raised bed filled with pure green waste compost. Also, some rocks - no problem for you, I know, since you grow rocks - to prop the branches into a vertical position and some tent pegs to hold the main trunk under the soil after you prop the branches in a vertical position. My raised bed is 3' x 40' but it's got a lot in it. You can get 4-6 saplings in a 3' x 10'. You interested? Regards, Mike

I would be happy to send you some white flowering hawthorne berries , Do you know what kind it is? Do you know if it's a cultivar? What are the berries like? Most are spitters and are only edible processed into jelly or wine. Some though are edible.

I do not know the hawthorne cultivar I have offered above , the flowers are white and it is regarded as a good honey bee plant, it is a very hardy mature tree about 3 metres high for a nice evergreen windbreak and the berries are about 4mm across , bearing plentifully every year, deep red pulp and perfectly edible but largely tasteless, I have eaten them every year including this year straight off the tree and there is no astringent nor tartness , nor sweetness. I sort of thought they might offer more nutritionally than taste wise. The berries each contain a single hard seed.

Just a brief update to double check that everyone who asked for seed has gotten it? I didn't really keep track and a few people fell through the cracks already. If you haven't rec'd seed that you requested send me a PM.

I grew them like I grow ground cherries. Planted them a month or so before last frost and then planted them out after last frost, but I bet you could easily get away with direct seeding them. They still come up wild in Greeley CO in the old Volga German neighborhoods, so they aren't long season.

I've had a couple miscommunications so I'm writing this to clarify a few things for people who've never traded seed with me before. - We don't sell seed
- Our first preference is to trade this seed for cool seed you have
- If you need something from our list it is free if we can afford to get it to you (if you live somewhere really exotic we might ask you to cover the shipping, this has never happened yet)
- We ask that that you do not resell any seed we give you until you've grown it out yourself.
- We make no promises as to total varietal purity, we are not big believers in purity
As far as the reselling issue goes, as far as I know that's never happened either. There really isn't any way for us to prevent it from happening and still actively trade seed. If we ever found out about it, that would be the last trade ever made with that individual. Which is no doubt a terrifying thought to contemplate for an ebay hotshot. But that's all we've got.
