Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), 15+ seeds, Free first class shipping to US addresses, no tracking
This is a valuable pollinator feeding tree, with pink/purple flowers in early spring. It puts on quite a show, as it blooms before it leafs out. It's much visited by many pollinators, but is especially important as a buildup food source for the Southeastern Blueberry Bee, which will later pollinate blueberries. When numerous, the flowers also help honebees with spring buildup, preparing them for later nectar flows.
The large, but tender leaves are favored by leaf cutter bees, and, this tree may help draw off these bees from roses. Redbuds are an important larval food source for the white flannel moth, Henry's elfin, American dagger moth, io moth, and other lepidopterans..
A single tree will not yield seed pods; it requires a mate (a pollenizer) for the bees to fertilize the flowers. In the fall, the seeds are an important food for bobwhites, chickadees, and other songbirds.
The tree is native to eastern USA from Pennsylvania to Florida and from Iowa to Texas. They are usually an understory tree in the wild, and can be used as such in landscaping, but the flowering will be more showy in the open. They have very few pests. Pruning should be limited to crossed branches or damaged ones, or to get a good airflow, under them to reduce danger of disease.
Important! Do not use herbicides near these trees, as they are very sensitive to them. Redbuds dislike transplanting, so it's a good idea to seed in place, or if started in a pot, be sure to transplant early.
The tree will grow quickly to about 30 feet, and live about 30 years.
At least 60 days of stratification are recommended for the seeds. But it is best to break or soften the seed coat first, by scarifying with sandpaper, or treat 30 minutes with boiling water.

**********NATIVES: This offering is part of our "natives" seeds and cuttings. We encourage the propagation of native plants, as these generally require less care and are of more benefit to the local environment. Our pollinators and songbirds are declining, and one reason for the loss is the planting of non-native plants that give them no support.
Non-native plants often require watering and high pesticide use. The pesticides are another reason for the decline of our pollinators and songbirds. Some non-native plants, like Bradford pear, and Privit have become highly invasive and destructive.
ECOTYPES: Our seeds and cuttings come from the Pee Dee region of South Carolina - Horry, Georgetown, Williamsburg and Florence Counties in the northeastern corner of the state. So these are of a coastal Carolina ecotype.
Why are ecotypes important? Many of our native plants have a wide range. For example, red maples are native throughout the entire eastern US, but there are variations within the species due to adaptation to local conditions. You can expect that those from your area will do better than one from far away, even though they are the same species.
NATIVITY RESOURCES ONLINE: You can find online info on native status for your area with the North American Plant Atlas, which is presented by The Biota of North America Program (BONAP). You must know the Genus and species, but then you can find county-by-county information. Another resource, which is a bit more clunky (to me) is the government Plants National Database, which does allow common names (but take care, as these have regional variations). Both online sites are easy to find online.
SEEDS: Our seeds are hand collected in season, and are in limited supply. While we try to clean these, we don't have the fancy machinery that large seed companies have, so there may be some chaff or other plant material included. We are generous in our
measurements, though. And residues should not interfere with sowing the seeds. Our berries may be offered two ways - as dried berries, or as separated seeds, at a higher cost, to compensate for the increased labor.
Most seeds are shipped dry with a pac of silica gel for insurance. But a few, like Magnolia, Live Oak, and Longleaf pine should never be allowed to dry out. These are shipped damp and should be dealt with immediately.
Many of the native perennial seeds require a period of cold (fall planting or cold storage in a damp medium - (called "stratification"), in order to germinate well. Some also require "scarification." You can search online for info on how to do both of these practices. YouTube is especially helpful with many videos to show processes. Of course, as with any online resource, you have to use some judgement. There are many techniques, some contradictory, and some online info is just plain wrong.
CUTTINGS: Likewise there is much online info on plant cuttings. Keep in mind that this kind of propagation is a bit of a gamble. If you win, you get cheap plants that are exactly what you want (have you priced nursery stock lately?). If you lose, you aren't out much.
Our cuttings are made fresh upon your order, so we try to do our best for your success.
While we emphasize native plants, we are not obsessive, and do have a few non-native food, herbs, and some woody plants that have shown to be well-behaved in our own homestead.
NO GUARANTEES: As with any plant material, our offerings are subject to many factors and we cannot give any guarantees. We do want our customers to succeed, so we take care to give fresh and viable materials. And we no longer offer some things that we've shown in our own tests to be unlikely to do well.
