Hey Nancy

You can grow potatoes from ‘slips’ or small pieces of living stem cutting, like tomato suckers. You can plant the potatoes in soil indoors, like in a flat or pot, then as the green sprouts come up and begin to send out roots, gently break those away from the mother seed and either pot those up or plant directly (like you would a bareroot tomato or sweet potato) the mother tuber will continue to grow and make new shoots. You’ll end up with much more and higher quality planting stock than if you tried to cut the potatoes up in small pieces with just one eye or something. Good luck!

Curious if anyone has planted shipmast black locust trees and would be willing to send me some roots to clone? Would happily pay you for them plus shipping or willing to trade

Now taking orders for Spring shipping. Thanks everyone who gave feedback

Taking orders for Spring 2025 shipping now! Thanks everyone who took a look

Yea, go ahead and plant them now. Literally anytime the ground isn’t frozen is a fine time for nearly any perennial, fall or early winter better than spring imo. There are a few exceptions where planting in spring or when leafed out is better (like with cold climate tropical relatives like pawpaw)

They are just a really small American persimmon. Kinda cute. Do they have seeds? Pollination indeed can improve the size. I’ve encountered wild persimmons with very small fruit, but never quite that small

Hey, yes. Thank you for that input. I definitely have more fleshing out to do, and that is important info

Hey everyone,

I’ve been growing a small bareroot plant nursery for the last few years as a side thing, and feel now is the right time to be giving it more attention. I’ve been focused on mostly local sales, but just put up a rudimentary website

I’ve had relationships with many of these plant beings for many years now. They are very potent allies for food, medicine, and soil restoration. My inventory is limited this year, but I will have more in the spring and future seasons.

Plants are going dormant now so I’ve started to dig and ship them. Bareroot trees and shrubs planted in the fall are the most forgiving in my experience. They get a whole winter to settle in, and do some root growth ready to hit the ground running in the spring.

Please have a look. I welcome any questions or feedback/suggestions.

Cliff England in McKee KY told me his seaberries died in the hot humid summer. They get in the high 90s there or 100 at times.

They do want a lot of sun, but perhaps letting them get some afternoon shade say 3-4 pm in the summertime could help them with the heat stress. They do great for me here at 1800ft in southern wv exposed all day, but we don’t get above 95 degrees, and usually stay in the mid to high 80s in a hot summer. What is your 7a climate like?

I have heard males are more sensitive than females, and I know there can be a lot of genetic diversity amongst males. In our climate we probably want more northern Eastern European varieties rather than Mongolian. I have a male from one green world that has been doing great for me. Little slower to take off but now is quite established two years later. Moving them to a new location for the first time tomorrow. I’m guessing this male is the one they use to globally propagate, or perhaps they have a few varieties. It is a ready rooter via stool layering and fall softwood cuttings.

Do you have any photos of your plants? Are they growing very quickly?
