Looking for some Whitten kenaf seeds — rounded-leaf Hibiscus cannabinus. Can you help?

Hi there,

I'm curious about kenaf as a biomass producer to promote better soil structure and the microbiome on my land.  

No luck so far in finding the "Whitten" cultivar (with round-ish leaves).  

Can anyone share even a small number of seeds?

Welcome to permies Michael.  I'm hoping that someone will have some ideas for you about how to acquire these seeds.

EFN is out of stock: https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/whitten-kenaf but you could write to them and ask about it or just get on the 'notify me when it's back' list.
