Native Plant Exchange

WANTED: Mahonia fremontii

18 years ago

I'm looking for Mahonia fremontii seeds or a small plant--I don't know what you would want in exchange, but I'm sure I must have SOMETHING. I have lots and lots of bearded iris, some Siberian iris, at least one Epimedium, Allium 'Purple Sensation', Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' aka kittyganja in large quantities, just about anything else imaginable in small quantities or in future years.

I found it! It's listed in the upcoming Arboretum Plant Sale listings. Thanks to anyone who looked and didn't have any better luck than I did.

I'm back to looking for this again. It's sometimes listed as Berberis fremontii, too. The Arboretum Plant Sale didn't have any: seeds didn't germinate (The person growing the really interesting dryland plants apparently doesn't realize that some things need cold stratification, scarification, giberellic acid treatment and/or a couple years outside to germinate).

Ann, I got your second email. I DID send you a response (and I forwarded it again today), so check your Junk mail, maybe it went in there. If you didn't get a response, there must be something wrong with your email so maybe you could provide me with a different address. Kate

I have a few things you might like: Hydrangea quercifolia (collected by me in Nov. 2012) Schizanthus pinnatus (rec'd in trade in 2012) Abies pinsapo Spanish fir (fresh seed rec'd in trade in Nov 2012) Morella cerifera Wax myrtle (collected in Nov 2012) Euonymus americanus Strawberry bush (collected in fall 2012) Rhododendron canescens (collected in March 2013) Decumaria barbara (collected in March 2013) The last 2 species are obviously from plants that bloomed in 2012, but I collected seeds in March. They are quite viable, as I already have many sprouts from these seeds. See anything you'd like? Katie

Hi! I was interested in a few things on your list. If there isn't anything on my seed list that interests you could I interest you in a 1 year old clematis serratifolia?
