Amorpha fruticosa (the other false indigo)???

That's it!! Thank you so much for your help.

If seed was mature, should be easy to start. If not, we still have some left over seed that was nearly 100% viable in the last 18 months, so could probably still produce. Also have a small second year plant or two that I've been saving for a swap, but doesn't look like I'll be making any this spring. We grew from seed because were not able to find any locally.... strange because it's native and there are even several named/improved cultivars.

There is a swap near Sandy Lake Park this Sunday 5/3 from 12:00 to 2:00 if you could make it. It's called the Denton County Swap. If not, maybe we could do a trade through the mail. Are you looking for anything in particular? Thanks.

Darlene, I grew those from seeds a few years and brought a couple to swaps. Yours is way bigger than mine and so far it hasn't come back up this year.

Denton County plant swap is at Mc Innish. Park in Carrollton.

Instructions that worked well for our a. fruticosa seeds were: scarify, pour 180 F water over seeds and soak overnight, then plant just below soil surface.

Darlene, Turned out we were within 12 miles of the Denton Cnty swap, but could not get away that day. Would be glad to send extra plant and/or seed by mail. Saw something about having to follow in order to message on houzz - will sort it out when I can get back to the desk in a couple of days.
