I can help you out. I have silver maple seeds that need planted fresh and they are starting to fall. I have cedar berries, a few bur oak acorns, some spreading yew, wild pink roses, autumn splendor mountain ash, crimson cloud hawthorn, purple concord grapes and I think some others, can't remember, I think I have my page updated if I did it right (I'm new). I'll do trade or sasbe. I'll put the link down below and if it doesn't work, I'll check my email (mamahack@hotmail.com)

1/2 bermuda sod, 1/2 bermuda seed help
Q
Comments (1)
It is more likely you are watering and/or mowing incorrectly. Then you might not be fertilizing right and that would be the trifecta. There is no way to match a seeded variety with any of the sodded varieties of bermuda. Once they grow together or you get some seeded (common) bermuda in the TIF, then you have a permanent weedy look. You should be watering deeply and infrequently. You are probably watering lightly and every day or two. Improper watering is the fastest way to get weeds. Deeply means a full inch, as measured by some empty tuna or cat food cans in the yard. Time how long it takes your sprinkler(s) to fill the cans and use that time. Infrequently means no more than once every week or two this time of year. When the temps get into the 90s, then go to once per week. You might be mowing too high. Bermuda should be mowed at the lowest or second lowest notch on a rotary mower. If you are fertilizing right, you might need to mow 2x per week. Mowing low will cause the bermuda to grow more horizontally than vertically. This is what causes bermuda to become dense. If you want good color and good density (to help keep weeds out), you should fertilize every month of the growing season with a high nitrogen fertilizer.

WANTED: Unusual / Uncommon Tree, Shrub, Vine, Perrennial Seeds
Q
Comments (0)
Does anyone have any neat and/or unusual tree, shrub, vine, or hardy shade-loving perrennial seeds to swap? I am especially interested in uncommon tree or shrub seeds that I could winter sow. I would like to swap for things that are hardy to at least zone 6b. I am only interested in things that are properly identified. It's hard to know if I could use a "white flowering bush" or "some type of evergreen tree". I don't have nearly as many types of seeds to trade as some do, but I'm trying to get "started".

Hi Growjo, Please look up Manitoba Maple! This tree spreads with ease over years and is almost a pest. Some people like them though and are quite popular in our prairie provinces. But I've 'dealt' with them on our country property for 37 years here in Ontario. Wish there was a fairy godmother with a bulldozer willing to take a summer to remove them all! But as to your wish for tree seeds. I can send you a small amount of seed of the following: Syringa reticulata (Japanese Lilac), Katsura Tree, Betula pendula (Birch) and Buddleja davidii (Butterfly Bush). All will need a protected area to survive in your Zone 4 except the Lilac. Sharon
