Texas Gardening

Sources for these trees / shrubs/flowers

13 years ago

I would like to locate source(s) for seeds, cuttings or even plants for some of the following:

Zinnia grandiflora - Plains zinnia

Pectis angustifolia (limoncillo)

Melamphdium leucanthum - Blacfoot daisy

Leucphyllum candidum -Thunder cloud, or silver cloud

Leucphyllum frutescens - Green Cloud

Leucphyllum Langmanice (Lynn's Legacy)

Sophora Affinis - Eve's necklace

Pistacia mexicana (Pistacia texana) - Texas pistache

Diaspyros texana - Texas persimmon

And PLEASE excuse any misspellings. I have a place in north Brown county and would like to get a start of several of these. We have the Blackfoot daisy there already but would like additional seed if possible.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Weldon,
Give this Tx Native Plant Society link a shot. Looks like some of them are not too far from you. Also google Localflora, that's a client of mine who also deals in native plants and seed.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tx Native Plant Society sources

I was just at the Musser site. They are still sending out potted plants. Another good one is Sunlight gardens in TN. I ordered from both when I lived in TN. I wasn't especially happy with Musser. Good price, but extremely small plants. Sunlight's plants were small also, but seemed of better quality. You could also order from ForestFarm.com. Prices are a little high, mostly because of shipping, but the plants I received were of exceptional quality. They probably aren't sending out plants now, but like the others said, I'm sure they'd take your money and send them in the fall. Terry

Flowering shrub/tree, not a Prunus?
Q

Below is a prunus that I simply cannot ID -- one problem is the difficulty getting across the stream. But it ain't black or pin cherry -- blooms way too early. Isn't serviceberry either -- leaves are coming out w/the flowers, unlike serviceberry. I wish it would produce fruit, but it doesn't -- not a single berry. Alittle over 15 ft tall in fairly deep shade when the forest leafs out:

Soils vary even within the same building lot. Sampling and testing is the only serious way to identify and monitor any possible mineral deficiencies (or excesses) present on a given site*. With routine fertilization without monitoring risking overapplication. On the flip side if there is an unaddressed deficiency results gotten from plantings will be less. *That said there can be widespread chronic conditions present in some locations such as phosphorus deficiency on sandy soils in high rainfall areas and a tendency for nitrogen to be lacking on disturbed (as in gardened for instance) sites in forest regions where the clearing and cultivation has disrupted involved natural processes
