Hello- Although I'd love your seedlings, I'm in BC, and shipping may be a bit risky. I'd be interested to trade something for seedlings if you are open to sending by mail. I'd like to get a dozen or so growing out on the acreage. Seems they love water and grow exceptionally fast- they'd bring shade to me and the livestock- while the "good" trees are taking root. In time the silvers will be cut down to make room for the other shade trees. I read they break easily in wind/ice storms so they aren't permanent trees- just functional.

Here are photos of the seeds, and the seed pod they popped out of. The spoon is a regular cereal spoon for size comparison. I had to email the guys at Fairchild to ask about how to germinate these seeds, it sounds very easy. Just another note: I don't sell plants of seeds. This would have to be a trade. I don't send plants to certain states that don't like FL rooted plants, but can't really see anything wrong with sending seeds. No international trades though

Nice job capturing some of the moods of Hot Cocoa. It really is like a chameleon, for me that's what makes it so charming. When it blooms in clusters of a dozen or so, almost every one can be a different hue. Then as they mature, that smokiness enters in to make them even more interesting. I've taken a number of shots of mine and many of them are so radically different in color that you'd never believe they were all of the same rose.
