ok then! plum pits for silverseeds, alan, and flowerpower. it won't be till late, after fall, cause we can't harvest till after the first hard frost. also forgot to mention that i would consider these 'semi' dwarf trees. in all these years they're maybe 15 feet tall.

biorag, what kind of seeds would you like? aanything special? I still don't know. I let the hazard do. If we don't find anything don't worry .... one day you give, one day you receive, it's not important, but thank you very much. |

How do they handle the high winds? Let me know if you want some Butternuts. |

If butternuts is a type of plum, Id like to trade for some. Or some other fruit likely to grow well from seed.

We have more than one nut to better it would seem! SQUASH them FRUITY NUTS with loads of butter! Does that sound crazy enough? I'm in a strange mood...
Butternuts are native to my region and on my "to plant" list. Related to pecans they are. Would be kinda cool to have a sort of "gardenette" that would have a grouping of all things "butternut".

Apples “Rayotte de Nommay” are not completely ripe, but I promised to present them to you this week : sweet, soft, slightly acid, juicy, subtle flavor. Maturity : september-january  |

and I thought they were a type if nut tree? Now I am curious? Butternut is a nut tree. It is a type of walnut. It has an extremely hard shell. And if you boil the green outer shell in water, it makes a dark brown dye. I'll see how many nuts I can scrounge up. I have to find them before the squirrels & chipmunks do. www.tree-pictures.com/butternut_tree_photos.html |

Flowerpower, if you should find a few extra butternuts, I will put up my hand for some. Be sure to check our trade list out and also ask for things just in case we have what you want and it doesn't get listed.
cheers,
grungy

flowerpower, thanks for that link. lots of good info there. i see we have to have two trees to pollinate and they like full sun...we can do that! ;D
is it possible to keep it pruned so it doesn't become the 40-50 feet high, maybe half that, or will that affect the nut production? and how long till they produce nuts? sorry about all the questions...sounds like something we'd like to grow here. hope the squirrels leave you some!
