The Food Security and Farm Protection Act is a dangerous bill that was just introduced in the U.S. Senate. Despite its new name, this bill is identical to the dangerous Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act from last Congress. Please urge your federal lawmakers to oppose this bill.

Friendly reminder..... please be sure to your dates, on the back of your seed package, so you dont start you plants to early. We generally start peppers late February. They will need translated to a larger pot before they can go outside. Tomatoes, we plants 2nd week of March. Just wanted to share some info. I am excited to get back to growing and seeing your plants. If we spin and work together we can change our broken food system.

These are the varieties of potted Pawpaw and American Persimmon I'll have available in May of 2026 for $25 each. Follow my page to be kept informed when sales begin and be sure to share this post with any friends you know might be interested and invite them to follow my page.

These were all grafted in the Spring of 2025 and I only make them available a year after grafting. I'm located in Rock Island, Illinois and I do not ship plants or sell scions and all sales are in person. There is no reason to blow up my messenger.

I should also have the Honeywood variety of Juneberry seedlings for $10 and hybrid hazelnut seedlings 5 for $35.

Spacing:
Pawpaw 8'
Persimmon 12'
Honeywood Juneberry 6'
Hybrid Hazelnut 4'-8'

It will take about four years to see fruits, nuts, and berries. Two pawpaw trees are required for pollination to get fruit. Persimmon and Juneberry are self fertile so you only need one plant to have fruit. Hybrid hazelnuts you need five plants to ensure good pollination and I sell them in sets of five.
