If you join up at sharetheseeds.me you might be able to source a kratom tree from a member there if you haven't yet found one.

i have waya bamboo, dendrocalamus membranaceus. makes large edible shoots. reportedly productive.

Hope you survive the storm that's incoming if you haven't left town. Lots of friends and family are staying unfortunately. I'll be praying for y'all.

I bought one of these a few months back. Really nice healthy plants for sure. I up potted it and it's put on considerable growth already. Don't hesitate to buy. The CORGs I bought were very nice too.

I know Ryan is in TN. Anyone know if he's all good with all the storm flooding up that way.

Yes legal to grow in most states. However even though it is not federally illegal as a plant all the major platforms like eBay or etsy etc will not allow you to sell them. I used to sell all kinds of psychoactive plants before these platforms started pulling your listings down and threatening to delete your account if you continue posting such items. Unfortunately I lost my trees or I'd help you out.

Sorry I don't have this species any longer myself. Would be into finding it again too. Seemed very hard to keep alive long term. I have had this species around 10 times over the years and it eventually died every time. Best I ever did was straight perlite for soil but it seemed too picky for most any other soil. Had it going well a little over a year that particular time.

Still bunches of seeds available for the plums. Nearing a month into stratification as well. Usually 2-3 months will suffice. They often sprout in the fridge and you can plant as that happens or just give them that stratification time period and plant.

Very under developed here still. I'm from Sarasota originally but wanted out of the concrete jungle badly. Wewahitchka has hardly changed in 30 years. Land prices gone up but still relatively affordable. I'm off hwy 386 personally outside the city of Wewahitchka. Much of the counties north of here are still very rural as well.

Check out my shop on Etsy, offgridplantz. Thomas.

Hit me up sometime sounds like we need to talk plants!

The sago palm your asking for are the cycads right? If so I might be able to get you some seeds. Do they have edible qualities?

If you can manage to get your banana plants to fruit early enough in the year up here you can totally get ripe fruit no problem. I generally don't get much but I don't give my plants any special attention. A buddy of mine 40mins more north than myself gets tons of bananas every year. He has 5 racks hanging right now. A few more just about to sprout out too. The ones coming out now might not ripen up properly but the time it gets cold but the ones already developed now will certainly ripen up before the cold comes. He is constantly on top of watering and fertilizing though which I usually never get around to keeping up with. His efforts show fruiting bananas this far north is more than possible. We are really a zone 8b here too. We've gotten mid teen temps 3-4 times in the last 7 years.

Are you gonna make plants of this Pineapple available at some point?
