Matt from Wanderlust Nursery here! We have plants in stock, they're just still dormant. Our clone of Zanthoxylum simulans is self fertile and has a good flavor. They are cutting grown.

We have carried Zanthoxylum piperitum and Zanthoxylum planispinum in the past. Zanthoxylum planispinum has a great flavor and is evergreen, so that"s neat.

Looking for Sansho and Sechuan Pepper plants (M and F). Open to trading or purchasing.

One World usually has them.

https://www.tradewindsfruit.com/search.php?search_query=zanthoxylum

I don't have experience with them, but there are also:

If you are interested with NA natives that likely can pollinate szechuan/sansho pepper:

https://redbudnative.com/

I got my americanum from Redbud. They don't list it in the catalog, but I wouldn't be surprised if they can get one.

In a pinch, I can mail you some of my babies. (Likely clonal shoots) May have to wait for spring, though.

Hey Matt,

It's been over a week and there is still no shipping information for my order. Please PM me if you can. Thanks.

Hi All,

I have over 30 Beaumont Macadamia airlayers that will be ready by the end of the year. They range in size from 2ft to 5ft long. $30 each, 5 or more $25. Pickup will be pre-arranged in Spring Valley, San Diego. Shipping will be considered on a case by case basis. Price for shipping will depend on the cost of shipping, not included in base price, and will be calculated as I get the info as to where I am shipping to. Please email james.b.lively@gmail.com to get on my list

UPDATE 2/22: I have 20 cut off the tree ready to box and ship. I reached out to everyone on my list and have received no responses thus far. I will open up the floor to anyone else. Shipping is available and should cost ~$15/plant (but will be adjusted when box weight and size is calculated). I would love to get these shipped off in the next couple days. Please email me at james.b.lively to arrange an order. Thanks!

James

Great! I just ordered a 1 gallon from you Matt. I think I also got the seeds from you. Thanks! If you get any other quality edible Zanthoxylum I would love to get some.

James

Thanks! I didn't know that genus had so many edible species. I just ordered 4 mother plants of sansho. I imagine they are seedlings, not clones, but I will look for a taproot to verify. I got some sichuan pepper seeds in the mail this week, so hopefully I can grow those up without too much difficulty. I also reached out to someone at Planting Justice because they have both types of plants. Theirs are fruiting so maybe I will be able to get rooted scions sometime this next year.

Don't they exclusively use Turpentine rootstock? Trees from FL on Turpentine don't do well here. Maybe others can chime in.

People here have discussed this and it might be worth looking into.

Fresh nuts are still dropping from the trees and available. Have a great week!

Hey Satya,

I have 7 fuyu seeds that have been stratifying in my fridge since November.


I also have Persian quince cuttings that have rooted in peat moss as well as some seedlings from some grocery store quinces coming up in the garden.

Happy to swap or sell. Have a great week.

James

Hey Pasca,

I haven't settled on a price yet, but I am leaning towards $50 for 1-2ft Li airlayer, well rooted in the pot (1-3gal). It will probably be several months until they grow into the pot well.

I will be multigrafting the ones above 2ft (5gal). I won't price those until I know how many grafts took. Have a great week.

James

Yes, it's got a large seed, but the flesh is like a tart nectarine.

I am gonna try this same thing with coffee seedlings. I put two seeds in each treepot. I will make a separate thread when the time comes!

All airlayers are now cut off and will be grafted or sold as potted plants later this year. Thanks to everyone who reached out. I will put more on in a month and will accept pre-orders with a non-refundable $5 deposit per airlayer. Have a great week!

Soooo much rain. I love that at least in San Diego we are getting steady rain instead of thunderstorms.

We are starting to get more consistent lower temps along with this rain deluge so I am going to hold off on cutting new scions until mid-February to let the tree gain some vigor back. Have a great week everyone!

James
