Questions & Comments

What are the cultivars? If the seeds are from grafted trees, you can never be sure exactly what you'll get because plants grown from seed are all slightly different.

Lots of citrus are grafted onto a rootstock. In most citrus trees, the scion, or top of the tree, is a different variety from the roots or rootstock of the tree. I'm sure it's the same for most any grafted fruit tree.

All my fruit seed comes from local fruit and fruit trees.

Dec 21st, 2012 at 7:11:09 PM PST by

Are your local fruit trees grafted trees? What are the cultivars? That's the question. I have to know so that I can decide if I will get true to type trees from the seeds.

Dec 21st, 2012 at 7:29:59 PM PST by

All my seeds, plants, trees, bulbs, are true to type.

Dec 21st, 2012 at 8:33:25 PM PST by

WOW LOVE THIS... thanks for the generous information.

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 4:02:40 AM PST by

Thanks

Ok -- so what are names (cultivars)? Concord grapes? Muscadine? Anna Kiwi? Audrey? Hayward? Etc? TIA!

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 5:03:32 AM PST by

I do have some concord grapes, and also some noble muscadine, Kiwi..however, unless purchased from a plant farm, there is no way of knowing the particular brand, since these have been growing a long time. The fruit is the same, not known, since most have been around and on home steads for a long time. Everyone else has trees from the same, and yep the fruit is the same as the parent tree. Thanks for asking.

That's good to know since Concord grapes will most likely not survive here due to Pierce's disease.

The picture is a fuzzy Kiwi. That's a start.

How cold does it get in your area?

How many chill hours do you get in your area?

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 7:54:48 AM PST by

Please, i am planting orchards, as far away as Tennessee right now. I don't just keep seeds for my area alone.

shirleybill "Seeds grown from heirloom trees are the same, and will come out true to type."

That's correct! And at least part of what I need to know. So you are stating that the seeds you are selling are from heirloom varieties?

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 8:03:03 AM PST by

Yes, i have a variety of different types of seeds, and not just for my area.

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 10:40:41 AM PST by

"Please, i am planting orchards, as far away as Tennessee right now. I don't just keep seeds for my area alone."

Please, then how is a bidder from FLORIDA to know if your varieties will get enough chill hours to actually produce?

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 10:47:36 AM PST by

I try to accomodate, but sending fruits that grow in the area of the bidder.

Dec 22nd, 2012 at 10:53:15 AM PST by

I found out we are a 5a zone

Dec 31st, 2012 at 4:51:49 AM PST by

Thanks

Dec 31st, 2012 at 5:57:52 AM PST by

hi, don't know what zone we are, but in Wisconsin, what do you have that will grow here with our cold weather in winter. Don't like crab apple

Dec 31st, 2012 at 4:35:19 AM PST by

I did a little research for you. I don't have any of those that you need though.

Dec 31st, 2012 at 5:58:20 AM PST by

This is great! f&w

Dec 29th, 2012 at 4:28:35 AM PST by

Thanks

Dec 29th, 2012 at 5:35:45 AM PST by

hi do you happen to have any crab apple seeds
i see your in tx live in mesquit tx. so would love any that can take heat i like pomegranat, and persimmon and grape just anything i am disabled and want to do some plants

Dec 28th, 2012 at 9:10:40 PM PST by

I so have apple, crab apple, pear, pomegranite, grape, persimmon, all of which grow well in the area.

Dec 29th, 2012 at 5:35:34 AM PST by

I live in NC. I believe there are quite a few that can grow here if cared for properly. I think we are considered zone 7. Hey, it's free so it's worth a try starting indoors or greenhouse then slowly introducing to the outside :0) Great auction!

Dec 27th, 2012 at 8:41:40 AM PST by

You are right. It is worth trying. You just never know when one when surprise you and take off like it's in the right zone.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 9:22:12 AM PST by

thank u

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:23:29 AM PST by

You are welcome

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:43:23 AM PST by

I do not send out grapefruit to areas unless specifically requested, because normally it takes a higher zone for them to perform well. However grapefruit has been known to successfully grow in Texas.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:23:05 AM PST by

Thanks

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:17:34 AM PST by

so very. sorry

Dec 27th, 2012 at 2:18:29 AM PST by

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:44:05 AM PST by

what zones will your seeds grow in? I saw you said you will send seeds to accommodate the zone we live in but just wanted to make sure. I am in Alabama zone 7 and I just wanted to double check before I bid. it's do very dry n humid here in the summer.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 2:17:54 AM PST by

Pomegranate, persimmon, pears, crab apple, all will work in zone 7. Looks like peach would work also, although i do not do peach, because i have such a hard time getting them to germinate.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 4:14:22 AM PST by

Ty for the chance to vote on this

Dec 24th, 2012 at 8:37:43 AM PST by

Thanks

Dec 24th, 2012 at 9:37:02 AM PST by

I am in northern Oregon zone 8, wet rainy but not too cold winters, what do you have that would grow well here? I am always on the lookout for heirloom seeds, have been trying to find a wolf river apple for 20 years, can only find cuttings for $30 apiece, and I don't know how to graft them onto a mother tree, darn it !

Dec 23rd, 2012 at 3:49:53 PM PST by

I have pomegranite, pear, persimmon, and all those will grow well.

Dec 23rd, 2012 at 4:48:58 PM PST by

Seeds grown from heirloom trees are the same, and will come out true to type.
