Would you like a seedling everbearing blackberry?


Yes please. That would be wonderful. Now is not the time to dig it though
right? You're welcome to wait on shipping until you think it's time to dig.

After reading your replies I walked outside to look at the blackberry and lo
and behold
I found a nice cluster of small, perfect seedlings that had come up quite a
ways from the host plant,
easy to dig and transplant and perfect for shipping, in colder weather would
probably be best
mostly beacuse of hostile conditions en route. I will probably go ahead and
dig and pot so they will
develop new feeder roots and be hardier for shipping and replanting.

Did you get any of the wild plum seeds? A half-dozen or so of those would
be awesome too! The pits can also wait until you feel it's the right time
to ship the blackberry (whenever you choose).

The plum did not set fruit this year; it fully flowered but only set a few
dozen fruit,
a few of which ripened. Maybe next year will be better. I have severely
pruned the tree and removed
a poplar nearby which was shading it. I will hike out into the neighbor's
woods to see if there are any
pits on the ground under his trees, which are a large grove. If I find any I will send you some, Cindy and others interested.
