I am working on a Mediterranean+ food forest in Sacramento, California and I keep seeing recommendations for saltbush (atriplex halimus) as a good guild understory/windbreak/edible shrub. I really want to add it to my Mediterranean guild but I cannot find it ANYWHERE in the US. Does anyone have seeds or a plant that they would sell me? Or know where I could find them? It seems like a really awesome plant and I want to try growing it.
Oh, thanks! For some reason I hadn't realized that all the different atriplex spieces were edible... It looks like I can source some four wing saltbush seeds. Hopefully they'll take!
Try greatbasinseeds.com and look under shrubs. There are some other companies that specialize in native plants and range type plants. This is just the first one I thought of.
Good Luck!
bamertseed.com , pawneebutteseed.com , wbseed.com , lhseed.com . If none of them have what you want you might call your county NRCS office. I'm not sure the FSA offices are open now but they may be answering the phones.
