I was always told that the older varieties needed a pollinator and the 'Mother Vine' would certainly fit that category but I can't find any resource that answers the question. I wouldn't worry about it - there are so many wild and cultivated grapes around that there isn't much need to own your own pollinator... I think

esh - the other leaves are False Indigo. About the Baptisia, do think I could propagate it? I've never tried, but I could. Acording to Dave's, "Propagation Methods: From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall From seed; winter sow in vented containers, coldframe or unheated greenhouse From seed; stratify if sowing indoors From seed; germinate in a damp paper towel Scarify seed before sowing" But I don't recall seeing seed pods.... I guess I need to pay closer attention. In the meantime, I could put a stem in water and see what happens.

I need to find a new home for 2 large (5 foot) grapefruit and avocado trees that are in large pots ASAP. They want some TLC and a sunny location inside for the winter. PLEASE email me right away if you can give them a home. I can bring them to the swap or to your house if it is nearby. HAVES For swap (let me know what to dig for you!): white snakeroot 'Chocolate' seedlings threadleaf coreopsis blue fescue pussytoes green and gold pink swamp milkweed seeds sundrops assorted groundcovers (phlox, sedum, mazus) golden ragwort comfrey herb robert geranium wild ginger asters Canada anemone strawberries (originally from Vlad)
