I start some seeds indoors like tomatos, but didn't start melons so far. Starting squash mellons cucumbers in flats, indoors, don't work. Has never worked after many trials. If soil is too cold to field, look to a hoop house.

Thank you Tom C

Ox osage orange needs a giant ground sloth or summat like him to move seed around. It grew OK for me in Lakes region of NH...
Coppicing OO short will take a ruthless hand. For my needs it did bud back well enough to be a bonsai candidate.

I can't think of an easier to germinate seed than crab apple. Collect fruit in the fall out front of your post office, Wall-Mart, or other big box store.
Plant to field or broadcast to pots in fall and let them slumber over the winter. seed will germinate next spring.
Mostly they will germinate about true to type.
Replant in seedling beds with the spacing you preffer.

Joseph, I'll never live long enough to use all the tomato seed I have now.
Thank you for your concideration.
I will make right (to the limit of my ability) any postage you expend on Robin.

im thirty minutes from pittsburgh, but im not american. i can do the things americans do within the border. i simply do not know how to do that cutting/cloning mike is talking about, at least with mulberry. if someone would explain it more i would be happy. is it much like cloning most houseplants? Whoops! sorry. My mistake TH. A hardwood cutting should be a more or less straight branch of this past years growth, oh about up to pencil thick, with 4 or 5 buds on it. Soft wood cuttings are going to be more time dependent (as in new growth) in the spring. Just about any knife or pruner will do to take them. How Mike wants 'em packed, or shipped will be up to him. Be well

Would it be possible to get cuttings from your mother's tree? Hardwood now for starting in a hotframe and softwood in the spring (we'd have to stay in touch on those in order to pick the right time for the softwood cuttings). Regards, Mike Mike, I think Turtleheart is outside the USian border. S/he would need to send cuttings with a phyto--
