So, I’m putting in an order to Forrest Keeling, home of trees started by their RPM method. I first used them last year to order some of the super-sweet Sugar Maple trees that Cornell University was working on, but they can only do large orders and deliver them by truck freight.
I really like these folks, and the RPM sugar maples I received last year, along with some Paw-Paws, survived the winter with aplomb and all are going gangbusters this spring. So I’m putting in another order for some fruit trees (more Paw-Paws, elderberries, etc.) along with some interesting others (Sassafras, Black Tupelo) but thought it might be a good idea to see if anyone else within a certain radius of Hudson NY/Great Barrington MA wanted to try some of what they have, and in the process, defray the shipping cost for all.
I don’t know if this sort of thing is encouraged - or frowned upon - on these boards, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask! I’ve included a PDF of their latest availability, though they get new things in every day. Also, it’s getting late in the season for them, so I’ll likely pull the trigger in the next 5 days or so, for a pre-Memorial Day delivery.
The PDF lists everything by botanical name, but it’s easy to look up. Thanks!!
