Sorry, but at the moment the answer is no. We tried this at the beginning, and unfortunately it NEVER made anyone happy on either side of the transaction. Basically: Hybrid nut seed is expensive. There is no resemblance to the cost of, say, wild black walnut seed. Multiply the real cost of production by around 500 or more, when you include 30 years of testing and the cost of controlling the pollination process (which we do).

Growing trees from seed is multiple step process including collection of seeds, removal of outer protective coverings, storage over the winter, planting and maintaining in a seedbed for one to three years. More information is available by contacting the Foundation, your cooperative extension office, urban or state forester, or through a local university program on dendrology.

Several flight experiments have been performed on plants, particularly on wheat. Part of the grass family, wheat is known as a cereal crop and typically used in making bread. In a microgravity environment, germinating seeds tend to grow normally with the shoots growing towards the light (positive phototropism). The roots do not exhibit phototropism, and they tend to grow whichever way they please. They will, nonetheless, usually stay within the moist medium in which the plant is growing.

No, but close. We are still balancing the size of our electronic catalog with the time it takes to access the information. We currently have about 95% of our varieties on our site. You are welcome to call if you don't see a variety you want, we are probably growing it. If you are looking for an item from last year's catalog that is not on the site, call us, we may have a limited supply available. We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee.

Yes, but...Orchid seed is very fine and dust-like, without the nutritive endosperm present in almost all more-commonly-grown flowering plants. For this reason, orchid seed can only be grown under a very specialized set of conditions usually beyond the capability of home growers. Orchid seed must be grown in a sterile culture, not unlike that used in hospitals.

its botanical name suggests, the tea plant is a variety of camellia, and like other camellias it can be cultivated in a home garden. It is not well suited to indoor cultivation, though. It grows best outdoors in climates like its native ones: temperate, with warm summers and cool (not cold) winters. In the United States, the best climate is probably like that found in the Carolinas.

Poison ivy, oak, and sumac grow almost everywhere in the United States, except Hawaii, Alaska, and some desert areas of the southwestern United States. The prevalence and structure of each plant vary by region.

Paphs are such a diverse group that you should have no problem adding some hybrids or even species to almost any collection, regardless of your growing conditions, even if you are already growing just other non-orchidaceous plants.

neil s roxburgh - Because of quarantine restrictions in Australia, I must grow bulbs from seed would like to acquire seed of any variety of Fritallaria, Trillium, Arisema, unusual South African bulbs. Any ideas where I can obtain seed of any of these, anywhere in the world. Neil Allen ILZ5 - Suggest that you try the Seed Guild, one of the sponsors of the forums.

Our web site section 'Why Fruit Trees are Grafted' discourages this effort. However, many people report good results growing peach trees from seeds. This is because many of the stone fruits like peaches are self fertile, and the chances of a outside gene being present to give an inferior quality of fruit are very much decreased. Trees like apples, which are not self fertile, will almost invariably yield poor fruit from a seed-grown tree.

Sounds like you're here for the winter climate and not the natural beauty the desert offers. There are plenty of non-native plants available in the nurseries that are drought tolerant, don't have thorns, and will thrive in a Tucson landscape. They may have small leaves, thick stems, and look best in the spring and fall like many native plants.

Usually - generally the bigger the pot, the better. It's easier to water and feed. Pots can of course be moved around to create different effects.

yea i built the 11 plant hydroponic system and im going to get a pump right and ive seen pics of a tube coming out of a container does that connect to the 1/2 inch hose connecter does that bring water up back to flow or is that to give to oxygen to the roots ,sorry but im new to this Ron, Trialbozz here from Victoria BC. I've been reading your discussion board and must say it has answered many questions I have had. I noticed you have shied away from questions regarding aquariums.

Plant requirements vary. Certain soil types (etc. acid, clay, sand, chalk, loam etc.) and conditions (sun or shade, dry, damp, waterlogged etc.) are better suited to some plants than others. The right choice of plants is essential for a healthy and vigorous garden. Plants that are not given favourable conditions will not thrive.

Soil does not make plants grow. It is merely a medium that supports the plants roots. It is the nutrients within the soil and photosynthesis that make the plant grow. In hydroponics, you provide all nutrients to the plants through a nutrient and water solution. And support to the roots through the use of a medium.

This depends on when you start 12/12 light cycle (flowering), if you are growing from seeds or clones, and your grow conditions. The above information shows what height you can expect when starting 12/12 at the height indicated. If you are growing in a cupboard, grow-box, closet, etc. and concerned about height start flowering early at 6-8 inches. There are various methods to control height gently and effectively as well. Try LST (low stress training) for example.

Usually the samphire zone is too saline and waterlogged to grow pasture. The best management for these areas is to fence them off from stock, so that they can regenerate naturally. This will have the beneficial effect of decreasing soil erosion off these sites, and may also improve the value of sites as habitats for wildlife.

There have been many studies into the types of plants that can be grown in an Aquaponics system, including leafy greens, root based plants, vine plants, fruit trees, flowers and fodder food. The cost and turnover time of each crop varies dramatically with leafy greens being able to be produced in a few months, with root based plants and fruit trees taking considerably longer.
