Hi!

I am missing a few things from my food forest.  And I am growing additional trees/plants that I do not need because I sprouted more seeds than anticipated.  Would anyone like to swap trees/plants?

I am looking for:
Date palm (4 female 1 male)
Olive - 2 trees (for pressing oil) heat and cold tolerant variety
Coconut palm
Pecan

I can share:
Mimosa
Moringa
Catclaw acacia
Toilet Paper plant
Anna kiwi vine

What temp zone are you in?   ...annual rain?

I am growing the trees in small containers that can be shipped.  They are young. 6 months - 1 year.  I was hoping to maybe find someone local to swap.  I am in zone 9, 9 inches of rain a year if I am lucky, more like 5 or 6 lately.  For my zone one by my house I utilize rain water capture and also grey water.  Grey water pretty much takes care of my orchard. I have well water to supplement with if needed. Zone 2, the botanical garden uses well water but those trees will be drought tolerant in another year.

If you are ever headed towards Austin, TX ...I have native pecans, apricot, fig, and date palms that i start from seeds of storebought medjul dates

...and we are down to trade for your drought tolerant food forest items.

Im usually at the Salado Farmers market every saturday 9 to 1 @ Barrow Brewing Co.
