Hey everyone, just clipped all the scion and I'm wrapping them up. I've got a lot of terminal growth scions that are all bendy from being on droopy low hanging branches. Therefore if you were to graft them the graft would be facing sideways or in some instances upside down.  I think they are likely viable in order to gain the genetics and regraft when it grows new wood. Long term, probably a pretty weak structure.  I'm selling them for $4.00 a piece.  I also have a lot of non-terminal wood for sale at 5.00.  I'll be shipping out tomorrow and orders will close tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your interest all. 

Howdy all.

Been a long winter of rain around here which has given me some time to travel, collect seeds, and grow out a ton of stuff for a big spring release. 
See below for the new inventory and if you are interested in reading a bit about my recent trip to Colombia, I posted up a sweet write up about the time there with a bunch of awesome high quality pictures. Check it out! Can't wait to do more posts like this.

Pouteria lucuma, 'Pecan Pie' Scion
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-lucuma-pecan-pie-scions
This is a preorder intded to allow for the freshest scion to be harvested and shipped within 12 hours of clipping.  I am breaking up the pricing this time to allow for terminal wood at 15$ and non-terminal wood for 5$.  If you bought scion in the past and didn't have luck, please reach out for a discount code. 

Pouteria lucuma, Lucuma seedlings
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-lucuma-lucuma
Lots of fresh Pouteria lucuma seedlings that are ready to be potted up amidst all the spring action.  They have been transplanted a couple of weeks ago and could probably be moved into 5g's if you are in a warm climate. Seeds from Portugal.

Pouteria viridis , Green Sapote seedlings
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-viridis-green-sapote
Got a whole bunch of awesome Cholul seedlings from Guatemala. They are vigorous and have recently been potted up. They could use a little bit of time in a 1g or likely be popped into a 3g or 5g. 

Campomanesia lineatifolia, Paililo
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/campomanesia-lineatifolia-paililo
Seedlings from a a few trees (I was the only one to collect from multiple specimens). This tree is somewhat cold hardy and totally delicious. Think of a sweet lemonade fruit! Although, don't suck on the seeds too long because they have a serious spice!

Inga sp. 'Santa Cruz'
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/inga-sp-santa-cruz
A cold hardy and productive Inga. sp. that has been in santa cruz for quite some time.  The originally tree was planted by Axel and these are seedlings from the progeny of that tree. It's cold hardy as was seen this previous winter and delicious, was stoked to clean all the fruits (eat them) haha.

Eugenia involucrata (sp?) Orange
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/eugenia-sp-orange
Seedlings of my Eugenia sp. Orange from Marcos. This is from the 3rd round of fruiting that this plant has had and they are delicious! No cold damage just defoliation on the plant, a totally amazing specimen for zone pushers.

Plinia inflata, Mulchi
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/plinia-inflata-mulchi
Seedlings from this amazing tree pictured here.  Absolutely awesome tree with some pretty good fruits!

Myrica rubra, Yangmei
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/myrica-rubra-yangmei
A batch of seedlings from Calmei fruits. Growing fast and ready for a pot up!

Annona salzmannii, Beach Sugar Apple
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/annona-salzmannii-beach-sugar-apple
Seedlings from Florida grown fruit.  Really awesome for the opportunity to grow a plant that is being stablizied through domestication. Domesticated plants have been reported to grow better in controlled environments rather than wild collected species.

Rubus neomexicanus, New Mexico Raspberry
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/rubus-neomexicanus-new-mexico-raspberry
A delicious Raspberry collected by Brian Laufer.  Looking forward to trying this one and don't know a bunch about it!

Monstera deliciosa var. Borsigiana
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/monstera-deliciosa-var-borsigiana
Want a screaming deal on this awesome variegated Monstera that is in perpetual high demand? Now's your opportunity to score one for a great price!

Thanks for the continued support all, looking forward to putting together a review of how the winter treated the orchard. Should have something maybe end of spring when things calm down a bit, busy time of year round here! Hope spring is treating everyone well.

Howdy everyone.

I just clipped a bunch of scion from the Huntington Arboretum's Woodmansee collection (with permission).  I have more scion than I realized I'd end up with but thought it would be a good opportunity to trade with others who have cultivars that I do not, so that I can amass an even more ginormous feijoa collection, haha.

Here are the cultivars. If there's anything you would like and anything you have that's not on the list, please let me know.

How's it going everyone? I have a bunch of 5g plants ready to get planted out in peoples yards (or potted up if you are into that sort of thing). They are too big to ship and I would be stoked to let them go to people in the area for a pretty great price! I'll post up more as I see what's good to go at the orchard. Will Update with pictures. If theres a large enough group in the bay area that wants to arrange to meet in the bay area, I could make that happen.

Eugenia myrcianthes, 5g, 50$
Eugenia selloi (flowering), 5g, 100$

How's it everyone?

I am interestd in purchasing Pouteria lucuma seeds. I am particularly interested in finding seeds of the moist type varieties which I know exist in southern California!  It would be great if anyone has a connection or knows someone, I would be very stoked to trade and or purchase seeds (up to 100 or more) , fruit, grafted/airlayered plants.  Thanks for your time.

Howdy everyone,

I've got some really nice Psidium firmum plants that are from my own home grown fruits.  Physiologically stronger as the parent and the seedlings have been grown out in my zone 9b climate.  This is claimed to be one of the best tasting guava species.  It is a very delicious, albeit, small fruit but it grows in big clusters all over the small shrub as it is a prolific flowerer. 

Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hey how's it going?

I have a ton of Feijoa ready to be grafted and have been trying to get my hands on some of the New Zealand cultivars. Does anyone have any? 

Thank you!

Nate

How's it going TFF?

I have some really beautiful seedlings that have sized up and are ready for sale! Check out my website for some more information and to purchase.
