Hi everyone! I am the vice president of my high school garden club, and we are looking for some trees and plants to put in!
We have been trying to get funding for the past few months, and I was able to land a small grant, but we are still very, very tight on funding. We can pay for trees, but just not very much. Any help is much appreciated!
Currently, we are looking for the following plants, if anyone has any spare to share.
-Pawpaws, preferably grafted
-Guabiju
-Pineapple guava/Fejoa
-Psidium firmum
-kadsura
-yangmei
-loquat, preferably dwarf (if that exists) grafted, and spring flowering if anyone happens to have one
-chilean guava
-huertasurbanas eugenia repanda
-huertasurbanas orange CORG
-hardy corrientes jaboticaba, if anyone has an older one, i believe it could survive.
-huertasurbanas sete capote (campomanesia guazumifolia), according to information from Marcos this sp seems like it would survive our winters
-proven hardy sweet uvaia, i see often people report these tolerating ridiculous temps
-hardy ubajay
-annona rugulosa, ubatubensis, parviflora or araticu #6
-vitex megapotamica
-psidium longipetiolatum
The planting area is in a sheltered spot behind the school and is 1-3 degrees above the mean temp in the area. The avocado we have planted out there (courtesy of forum member drymifolia) has not faced any damage whatsoever this winter, though we have only gotten down to 30f.
A little more about the program: we are a small charter public school in Seattle, and our community garden is a new development as of last year. This year, we are focusing on establishing some trees and shrubs, as well as annual fruits and vegetables. Much of our crop will be donated to local food banks to help those in need. We are the largest club in the school, and we have many members dedicated to caring for our space. Your trees will be safe with us

reply to the post or pm me if you have anything to sell or donate, thank you!
