have: at last!! sassafras berries! want any?

17 years ago

For whatever mysterious reason, we get Sassafras berries some years, not others. This year, lots and lots on one section of one tree right at the edge of the lane...so convenient, except for bramble roses.

This is native Sassafras albidum.

Husband (many thorn scratches) who collects can gather more, but wants to know whether anyone wants them...

so...

want to trade sassafras berries for your Z5 woodland perennials, named Daffs, YOUR woodland seeds to scatter, or ?

I have a large arbor that is built on the foundation of an old farm building. It is filled with what are supposed to be climbers. Most don't climb that well. In fact oldroser was visiting my garden a few years ago, saw the arbor and said something about the fact that there weren't any climbers. I was about to suggest Baltimore Belle but it is too big and a once bloomer. It is however a marvelous rose. Fragrant, floriferous, vigorous and although a once bloomer the bloom period is long. And BS free and JB free. There are tons of pink climbers but sadly I don't as yet have one that qualifies. Well I have a new Rosarium Uetersen that may get there. It has wonderful flowers.

Hi Pumkingal!

I have Joe Pye Weed, the very lovely tall wild hollow stem variety, and Cupid's Dart making lots of seed. Will check it's ripeness tomorrow. It's well over 95 degrees out there and we just came in.

Any other wild things you're looking for?

Cheers

Hello Barb.

I would like some sassafras seeds, but I don't have much to trade that you don't already have.

I have an unknown species of perennial poppy--blooms about 18-24" tall, foliage half that height, soft orange flowers.

Will soon have Iris chrysographes seeds--the pods are ripening.

For sassafras seeds, I'd be willing to trade 1-year seedlings of Nyssa sylvatica (black tupelo), American bladdernut, or Magnolia macrophylla (cucumber tree).
