I do have the real canna edulis. I'll see what I have when I go to break it up. Probably in the next few weeks.

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles - Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Perennial eggplants
« on: February 19, 2026, 05:15:37 PM »I have turkey berry seeds available.
Surface sow seeds and do not let them dry out while sprouting. Can take a few weeks to sprout.
Do you have any tricks for getting them to grow? I tried several times and never had success. Since then I bought a plant and found that cuttings root easily. I have also had seeds grow in my yard now that I have lots of fallen fruit.

« on: February 09, 2026, 07:13:15 AM »
I try to catch the fruits every year but often the animals get them first. Possibly this year from May to September I'll get some from angustifoia or another naturally occurring hybrid variety that's got decent sized fruit. Looks like triloba but gets only about 6ft tall. Not sure what kind it truly is but pawpaw groups on Facebook insist its some sort of hybrid. The hybrid is ripe may to June but angustifolia is usually August to September.

Scions 6-8" or better $3 each. Minimum of 5 and can mix and match. Plus applicable shipping costs. Each scion could be made into a few grafts each.

No worries man. I have a bunch of native mayhaw and 3 named cultivars. There's a local guy here that wanted to find this specific cultivar. Wanted to find one for him and myself too but if I can find some in bulk at the right price I would buy some for the nursery as well.

« on: February 01, 2026, 11:00:55 AM »
Looking to find a few big red mayhaw trees. Anyone have young shippable trees or rooted air layers? Perhaps even scions? I'm in the FL panhandle and might even be able to pick up trees at a good price. Especially interested in wholesale in quantity(10+ trees perhaps) if possible at the right price and size and do have a tax resale certificate.

« on: January 03, 2026, 11:53:56 AM »
I have regular orange, spicy white, and a blue green turmeric.
For some reason the blue green variety doesn't always develop the full color in this pic. Sometimes it's more white but other years it's nice like the pic.

These two varieties can handle the mid teens here in the FL panhandle. Might defoliate but survive no problem.

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Golden Dorsett apple scions
« on: January 01, 2026, 04:46:43 PM »
Scions available of this apple available again. However after this past season I'm not convinced it's a Golden Dorsett apple after all. It is June ripening. It did have red blushing in it. Not sure what kind it is but they are pretty good. Should have taken pictures but I didn't. First 2 years it produced the apples were mostly yellowy and kinda flavored Granny Smith like but this past year it had significant red blushing and was much better sweetness.

I tried a variety called "key west" this past season and they were awesome. Totally worth growing that variety. Deep red inside instead of orange too.

« on: November 12, 2025, 01:34:51 PM »
Still Sugarcane available. Speak up now before I plant whatever I have left after current orders are complete. Medium or large flat rate boxes full. Cost of shipping plus whatever box size full of cuttings. Medium full $15 and large full $25. I strive to make all cuttings 3 nodes long but some cases have such long sections between nodes I may have to make them 2 nodes long in some cases.
