No need to buy boxes. I usually pick them up at stores especially stores like dollar general where all their boxes are conveniently in little carts next to their dumpster area. In most cases depending on weight(up to a few pounds) shipping priority mail package in your own boxes with dimensions no longer than 22 inches and wider and or talIer than about 10 inches is cheaper than flat rate by a few dollars. If the package is exceedingly heavier than 5-6lbs flat rate might be cheaper also depending on where the package is going too. There's so much packaging waste from boxes to bubble wrap/newspapers etc is a shame anyone buys boxes and packing materials at all.

Do you think that the true cherries could possibly graft onto chickasaw plum? I've grafted improved plums, apriums, and pluots to it before with success. Also hear peach and nectarines can graft onto it as well. Cherries are a prunus so maybe it would work too. Unfortunately the large chickasaw plum tree I had grafted like 7 different varieties of improved species onto died from long standing water the following season. My back yard is low and after hurricane Michael knocked all the large trees down water stands forever back there. Three summers back we got 90+" of rain that year and had standing water for 3 months straight. Killed the giant plum tree and half my large blueberry row. So disappointing...but now I've got a new plum in the front yard. Gonna graft the heck outta it with good varieties.

I might want to buy some of these seeds before next spring. They are pretty hardy growers right? Kinda like a Seminole pumpkin.

Some cool looking varieties for sure. Want some extra cash to come along so I can pick some up from you.

It’s. Damn shame when this is getting rolled out when billionaires and corporations still have every loop hole imaginable

The poor will foot the bill for all of the societal programs and expenses so the rich won't be bothered by those pesky taxes. God forbid they pay their (un)fair share like the rest of us struggling to make a living. We are extorted of our time and energies for the greater good though right?

Yes a believe the one woman that had a nursery for all the native types is no longer in business. Tried contacting her a few times with no reply.

They will here at least if in a microclimate conditions such as up against the porch on the south side of the house or under other dense perennials. However you likely get colder and it's sustained longer.

Bunches of D. alata bulbils available. 5 for $5 on smaller bulbils. They vary in size greatly but I'll try to give decent sized ones or put in extras if they are really small. Large bulbils are 5 for $10. Price of item plus applicable shipping. Hit me up!

Thanks! DG

Bountiful Gardens has them. Says they are cultivated from a usda specimen. Seems like a cool variety.  Especially since it grows and produces so fast. 5-6 week bloom to ripening time is insanely awesome. Might have to get one myself.

It doesn't say but I would think the etsy shop's banana plants are tissue cultures. Therefore they are clones and definitely true to type. However any banana pup is true to type. Most banana are not from seeds anyways.

Does anyone have this variety available? I've got a lot of species available for trade. Not a ton by way of fruit but lots of the permaculture style perennial veggies and herbs. Let me know.

Thanks! DG

Still some nice seedlings available

I'd definitely trade somebody for a fruit or 3 if they are still in season. I've never tried a triloba fruit. Really want too. Have Inga vera seedlings and quality suriname cherry seedlings to trade amongst many perennial veggies and such. See some of my posts for a list of things I have.
