I ordered tree and shrub seeds!

19 years ago

I found a nursery with some interesting seeds. I ordered American Cranberry Viburnum, Pink Dogwood a Dwarf Flowering Almond and Speckled Swan gourds! The whole order came to about 14 bucks! The place is called Moonshine Designs Nursery and it's in Milan Il. Now I am going to anxiously await the order! I wanted some interesting stuff to Winter Sow this year. I wanted the tree seeds especially. It will be my first time attempting to grow a tree!!

Thanks Bakemom. I got inspired to try shrubs and trees this year. I was successful in growing a Beautyberry from seeds that a friend gave me. I also tried Burning Bush but that didn't sprout. I'll let you know when the seeds come because I also never ordered from these folks before!

Good luck with your shrubs! I had great germination from Sheffields seeds and they have a huge selection. I plan to try a few more varieties this winter and will be sure to check out Moonshine Design. Thanks!

Netwiz Thanks for the heads up on Sheffield! Wow they do have a lot of stuff and I love their web page the way you can search on categories!!! I think they have more selections than Moonshine!

Wow...maybe I'll hit that nursery too!! Not that I have anyplace for trees but could use some bushes :D

Might have been a blessing you couldn't get Burning Bush to germinate....it's been declared as an invasive species in PA and most of the eastern US

Over on our side it is well behaved....just too dry I suppose.

Thanks Vera! I didn't know Burning Bush was considered invasive. Now I'm glad it didn't sprout! We have a new Township park and they planted them in it!! I guess the park planners didn't know either unless they planted some type that isn't invasive.

I believe that! Some landscapers and even local nurseries don't keep up with the latest additions to the no-no lists. We still have nurseries, ect selling Butterfly Bush (B. davidii)

All the nurseries out here still sell Butterfly Bush. I don't think it is invasive out here. I've never seen a seedling yet from the one I have. I didn't get my seed order yet from Moonshine so I hope it doesn't take much longer. I wrote them an e-mail asking what is going on.
