Hello Miekal,

Please contact One Green World nursery if you want to get sexed trees of
four  different varieties. Ask for a handfull of dirt if you will buy
bearroots, so you can innoculate them with the specific nitrogen-fixing
baktheria, associated with seaberry.

I think feeding the seedlings will help them to establish. If you have a
Russian Olive near buy, get some soil from around its roots, dilute it with
water and feed your seedlings - it might help them to establish  symbiosis
with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria. When winter comes mulch plants with
leaves and saw dust, protect them from wind.

Recommended soil mixture for the seedlings and cuttings is  1 part of river
sand, 1 part of peat moss and 1 part of top soil.
