Thank you so much, Sue. It seems like a great group of folks here. Honestly GW's trade list setup has so far confounded me ;) And regardless I'm not a stickler for formatting. I'm just here to share seeds and am fully open to whatever way the gardener I'm trading with likes to display their lists and am happy to just trade with the traders that are equally flexible. Marbles_n_the_garden, thank you. I am only looking for an edible variety at this time but the offer of Aesculus hippocastanum is much appreciated. Thanks, Amanda

Nice to see another Dayton gardener on here (although I no longer live in Dayton (more specifically Centerville) anymore)! Unfortunately while the seedlings might last a few years or so, eventually Chestnut Blight will get to them and kill them off. Chestnuts that were killed half a century ago are still sending up suckers that rarely/ever reach maturity. The blight does not affect the root system, but the tree is functionally dead. You could try some of the more resistant crosses that are being developed? Chestnuts are amazing trees...i don't know a single person who wouldn't like to see them eventually reclaim the eastern forests (even if they are hybirds with Chinese chestnuts)....If you really like them look into the American Chestnut Association. take care, ~Mike

I have Ensete Maurelli (Red Abysinian banana)if your interested in trade. How tall are your seedlings????

I'm in Waxahachie, pretty far from San Antonio & Farmer's branch but would be happy to send some for postage. I haven't tried to email thru houzz yet, will see if I can figure it out. vossner I just sent you a dmail.
