Anyone local got a source of mayhaw seeds? I would like to start some for along my creek.
Also would be interested in pawpaw seeds if anyone has them.
Metro area or by mail?
If you wanted to get a leg up on the process you could call Sunbright Farms and get the seedlings for $3 each - they also have PawPaw. I bought 2 Mayhaws last year along with a variety of other trees and the Mayhaws are now well over 6 ft. I planted with tubes and we got plenty of water this spring which helped. Their trees were all very high quality. Good Luck!! http://sunbrightfarms.com
Have seen his ads, was planning on this if I couldn't find seeds.
Where did you get the tubes? The ones I looked at were 7+ each. But havent looked for them in a while.
That sounds about right. I think I found a bargain once and got the 5 ft. tubes for about $4 each but don't remember where it was. For some reason I want to say it was a NWTF deal but never saw it repeated through them. I know I bought some from Tree Protection Supply and Forestry Suppliers. I'm sure there are plenty of folks making them but I have used Plantra and Tubex and both seem fine. The Tubex Combitube was my most recent purchase and that's what I used with the Mayhaws. They are half solid and half ventilated - make sure to put the solid portion to the ground. Yes, I learned that the hard way when my Roundup went through the vents and killed a few young trees. I know I spend too much money but my trees are my babies...
