Hah, good for you, Betsy. I used to pick chanterelle mushrooms growing
in the pine woods between the walking path and Kenan Stadium. They came back every year. I assume that there are variations in fruit size and shape and proportion of seed to pulp between varieties of Autumn Olive. The ones in this picture:

are larger, rounder and brighter red with less speckles than the ones
I have on my property which are smaller and oblong in shape. I finally have a good stand of them with seedlings around them that are developing. I have been waiting for years for this. Mine are good bearers but there isn't a lot of pulp and juice in the fruit. Maybe I can make up for this with quantity and processing them in a hand crank food mill/masher as depicted in a video I saw. I would like to make batches of pulp and juice to add to fresh raw fruit salad - they would probably go well with apple, raisins, soaked dry apricots and maybe dates....visions of ambrosia.

in permaculture.

I am interested in sources for seedlings of this plant.
I would be interested in purchasing a few seedlings if anyone in this
list can ship them to me. I am in the Piedmont region of North Carolina.
