If you’re ever down to do some additional grafting (in all your free time chasing a toddler) I’d be happy to trade some scions. I don’t know if i have anything you’d be interested in, i tend to collect older heirlooms that aren’t always (sometimes) named.

i agree. beech are beautiful trees. we used to have whole ridges of old growth beech here. between cutting for firewood and the diseases, they have become rare in the forest.

Im like a 150 miles or so southwest of where you’re at. Ive been thinking there should be little disease pessure if I mix a few beech into the forest.

It never hurts to try. I got seedlings from Tennessee Nursery. Their Americans beech are cheap in bulk. If they all die in 20 years, I’m only out a couple hundred bucks.

Started some seeds of blue sausage trees, Japanese Raisin tree, Vitex shrub, Myrcia Rubra, sapodilla, and black sapote
Cuttings of fig: Celeste, RdB, Olympia,
Mulberry: Black prince, Himalayan DMOR9
Kei apple sweet female and male
Grafts: tam kam persimmon, flavor grenade pluot, spice zee nextaplum, Susquehanna pawpaw, KSU Chappell pawpaw, Shiro plum, Arctic star nect , Arctic rose nect, Hosui pear, 20th century pear, autumn beauty juju, Nikita feijoa, mammoth feijoa
If my chip buds from last spring/summer on my fig don’t push growth (they are all green still and cut to that node) I’ll graft those varieties again from my potted figs to my one in ground fig
Plantings sweet treat pluerry and Kakariki feijoa, also making a new citrus bed to get 3-4 of mine out of pots and into the ground. They are so much easier in ground than pots, no scale on any in ground citrus but they flock to them in pots. I’ll plant them close to one another and just keep them in a hedge to easily protect with a cloth when needed.

Ah then they are teeny tiny then and the photo is misleading on their size haha
That’s the kitchen sink on the right!
Do you know what type of vanilla? Looks really good, lots of leaves.

They don’t specify the species.
I’m jealous!
I’m also interested in your review of the cherries, I might be interested in trying one or two this year
I just got the following bare root mini nectarines from Bay Laurel:
- Necta Zee
- Sol Dorado
- Arctic Glo
I put them into large containers as soon as they arrived:
(a good portion of the other containers are bare-root berries I got from @krismoriah , and the rest are all various other blackberries/figs/mulberries)

Dang, had I known I would have bought my Honeyjar from them. They say 1" caliper and 6-7 feet for bare root.
Unfortunately they do not have Autumn Beauty in stock.
Yeah they’re definitely taller than me. I’m 5 ft short. And the caliper from the ones I’ve seen are much bigger than 1 inch as well. I was looking at jujube’s too until they poked me
I have 4-M111 and 3 OHF87 rootstocks, Arkansas Black, Red Delicious, and Warren scions coming from 39th Parallel.
Peach Scions—Contender & Georgia Belle
Pear Scions—Moonglow & Bartlett
Pluot Scions—Flavor Grenade, Flavor Queen, & Flavor Supreme
I have several suckers from a wild plum and callery pears that I dug up to graft to.
