Blue Palo Verde Parkinsonia Florida 50 Seeds / HAND PICKED 08/2023 CAREFREE,AZ

BLUE PALO VERDE Parkinsonia florida 50 Seeds Blue Palo Verde (Cercidium floridum) is a native tree in the Fabaceae (Legume) famly that grows in the Sonoran Desert region of California, Arizona and Mexico. It tends to grow in washes, bajadas and flood plains, at elevations from 0-3600 feet. It is also one of the most popular trees for desert gardens. The Palo Verdes were formerly classified in the genus Cercidium, and some sources may still refer to it that way. The leaves are small and readily dropped in response to dryness. The common name refers to the green bark of the trunk and limbs which are capable of low-level photosynthesis when the tree is leafless. The attractive flowers are yellow-gold and appear in spring but can also appear in response to summer rainfall. The seed pod resembles Mesquite and is valued by numerous animals. The seed pods were also ground and eaten by native people, but it is said to be less tasty than Mesquite. The tree has spines on the newer, slender branches. A popular hybrid of this species is known as ‘Desert Museum’ and has no spines. Parkinsonia florida is fast growing and drought tolerant. Supplemental watering encourages faster growth but may result in weak limbs and shortened life span. It is recommended to reduce or discontinue supplemental water after the tree becomes established. In recent years Palo Verde has become more popular for non-desert gardens and appears to perform well in many settings. Palo Verde Seed Germination* Nick the end of each Palo Verde seed with a utility knife. Press the blade against the seed coat until it is deeply incised but not completely punctured. Soak the nicked seeds in warm water overnight to further weaken the hard, impermeable seed coat.* Prepare a planting container for each Palo Verde seed. Use 7-inch plastic pots with at least two drainage holes at the base. Fill the pots with a mixture of 2 parts coarse sand, 1 part compost and 1 part perlite. Add water to the mixture until it feels moderately moist in the top 2 inches.* Sow one Palo Verde seed in each pot. Make a planting hole that is 1/4 to 1 inch deep. Place the seed inside the hole and cover it with a loose layer of the growing mixture. Spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of mulch over the surface to help hold moisture in the soil.* Place the pots inside a lightly shaded cold frame. Warm the pots to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit using a germination mat. Check the moisture level in the growing mixture each morning. Add water whenever it feels barely damp in the top 1/2 inch.* Watch for the first seedlings in approximately one to two weeks. Remove the germination mat once the seeds sprout. Continue to water whenever the growing mixture dries out in the top 1/2 inch.

30 Carob Tree Seeds “Ceratonia Siliqua” wild-crafted Biblical fruit raw

30+ wild-crafted Carob Tree “Ceratonia Siliqua” seeds Saint John’s Bread, Biblical fruit. Item: Thirty tree seeds, minimum. Ceratonia Siliqua. Hand harvested by me and my two boys here at White Buffalo Trading Co. The Carob Tree thrives in challenging environments with little or no care whatsoever. Frost and drought tolerant, but likely won’t survive into Canada. Pretty round leaves with a reddish tint to the branches. Prefers a dry, mild Mediterranean climate such as Italy, Spain, Texas, California, etc., but very tolerant of other climates once established. Beautiful ornamental tree with long brown seed pods that develop from Spring flowers. 30 seeds, assorted. The pods of the Carob Tree contain galactomannon, a commercially valuable carbohydrate that is used as a thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer in many products. The seeds are extremely hard and durable. Some carob facts: Carob tree has a very deep tap root and can live in areas with low or infrequent rainfall. It does not do well in wet, soggy, poorly drained soil. During a drought, the tree can still produce edible fruit. Its fruit can be a valuable famine food for both people and animals. In Biblical times, animals were fed carob pods in times of famine. Carob can live in a wide range of temperatures: from 20 to 122 degrees F (-6 to 50 degrees C). Carob grows well in poor, salt-rich, rocky, sandy and/or heavy loam soils. Carob Pods, sans seeds, are roasted and ground into carob powder, then used as a chocolate substitute in baked goods and candies. The Carob Tree is a member of the Pea Family (Leguminosae or Fabaceae). A few of its many family members are sweet peas, peanuts, soy beans and garden peas. Although originally from the Middle East or the Horn of Arabia, the Carob Tree will grow wherever the soil and climate are suitable. It now grows abundantly in Australia, California, Arizona, Mexico, South America, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and much of Africa. The Carob Tree is an evergreen that grows to a height of about 50 to 60 feet (15 to 17 meters). The Carob Tree begins to produce fruit when it is six to 15 years old. It can live and produce fruit until it is 100 years old. Unlike many other members of its family, it does not have colorful big flowers. It has very tiny flowers on a stalk that is attached directly to the trunk and limbs of the tree. The flowers take almost a year to develop into a semi-sweet, chocolate colored pod. The carob seed pods measure four to 12 inches long, with an average length of about six inches, right ladies? The shorter pods seem to be fatter. Considered edible, but some people don’t like them. The Carob Tree grows wild but it can also be farmed commercially. It is planted as a landscape plant in many cities in California, where it receives no care for watering, pruning, seed picking, or spraying. The Carob Tree requires little or no pruning and can produce fruit without fertilization or irrigation in most environments. The Carob Tree is virtually pest free. Animals, especially mammals and birds, eat its nutritious pods, which can contain up to 25% protein. This helps spread and release its seeds. The pods are hard from start to finish. Even the immature, green pods are solid. Shipping: First class package rate in a padded envelope. Priority mail available. International available but difficult due to size of seeds. I will combine shipping whenever possible. Thanks for Looking and Many Blessings on your Life Journey!

Medium Red Clover Seed

GA-9908 is a southern adapted, medium red clover specifically bred for improved grazing performance. GA-9908 is a multi-year red clover capable of better persistence and good hay yields. It is highly resistant to Southern Anthracnose. GA-9908 is a valuable forage for hay, grazing, cover cropping and wildlife. As with all red clovers, it possesses deep roots to help build soil and provide extended drought survivability and is capable of fixing nitrogen; all useful traits for crop rotations and mixed grass pastures.In independent testing, GA-9908 has shown to be highly resistant to Southern Anthracnose (Colltrotrichum spp.), and resistant to Northern Anthracnose (Auereobasidium caulivor).Once established and properly managed, GA-9908 should provide multiple years of free nitrogen and protein-rich hay and grazing. Longevity will depend on location and management. In hotter regions, with predominately warm-season species, it should last at least 1-2 years, while in cooler climates it should live 3-5 years, or longer. One can also broadcast 3-5 lbs./acre of seed annually, or as needed, to insure a continuous stand. Researchers recommend 25-30% clover percentages in grass pastures for best animal grazing results.Before You PlantGA-9908 performs best in soils with a pH of 5.8-7.0, but can also tolerate moderately acid soils (pH 5.0-5.5). GA-9908 will perform best on loamy, well-drained, fertile soil, but can also survive in poorly drained soil. For optimal performance, conduct a soil test and follow the recommended lime and fertilizer recommendations.In established pastures, remove excess forage through grazing or late season haying. This will help ensure successful seedling emergence and establishment. Reduce weed population prior to planting. Be aware of herbicide carryover/residual of chemicals applications prior to planting.Planting MethodCultipacking or dragging before and after seeding helps create a firm seedbed on prepared land. Planting too deep may lead to poor establishment or stand failure. When planting as mix with grass, drill companion grasses in one direction and then drill clover perpendicular to grass rows.InoculationGA-9908 is ready to plant! GA-9908 red clover is Nitro-Coated with a high level of the leguminosarum biovar trifolii rhizobium.

SeedRanch White Dutch Clover Seed: Nitro-Coated & Inoculated – 2 Lbs.

Seed Ranch Inoculated White Dutch Clover Seed (Non GMO) Used in lawns, as a ground cover, cover crop, for erosion control, and in pasture mixtures. Usually matures between 4 to 8 inches. Many homeowners include White Dutch Clover in their lawn seed mixture because clover sprouts fast and grows so dependably that it’s a valuable aid in getting a new lawn started. Nodules on the roots fix nitrogen from the air. Actually, up to 1/3 the nitrogen your lawn needs can be obtained from white dutch clover! Grows vigorously even in poor clay subsoil around new home construction. If you want all the benefits of a cover crop but don’t want to till early or mow, clover is your best bet. Getting a good stand of white clover is a first and critical step to success with this high quality, persistent crop. Since white clover is usually grown with a cool season perennial grass (may be planted alone too), it is usually either seeded at the same time as the grass or seeded into an existing grass stand. Seeding Rate Seeding rates vary with geographic location, seeding method, and seeding mixture. In general, rates 1/4 lb per 1000 square feet or 6 to 8 lbs per acre are recommended. Seeding Depth The ideal seeding depth is approximately 1/4-inch maximum, but under favorable weather and soil conditions, seed present on the soil surface may germinate and become established. Good seed-soil contact is important to ensure rapid germination and emergence. Seeding Time In the Southern USA, white clover is seeded in late winter or early spring and in late-summerautumn. In the Northern USA, most white clover is seeded in early spring or late summer. Seeding Method White clover can be seeded by many no-till or minimum till techniques and by broadcast seeding. In conventional seedbeds, white clover is almost always seeded with a perennial grass for lawns or hard or sheeps fescue for erosion control. Just scatter the seeds, rake lightly, and keep the seed moist until it sprouts! After sprouting occurs, cut back watering as root development starts taking place and less water is needed. Withstands mild drought, grows well all over the U.S., even on barren soil where nothing else wants to grow. Winter hardy and it stays so low you can just till it under in spring if you are using it for a cover crop. Weeds The best weed control is provided by a vigorous white clover-grass stand. If necessary, white clover-grass stands can be mowed to remove grass leaves and seedheads and to suppress broadleaf weeds and woody vegetation.
