10 Premium Pride of Barbados seeds The Pride of Barbados is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is a member of the Fabaceae or legume family. It is originally from Mexico and the Caribbean and has beautiful showy orange-red flowers, fern-like leaves, and prickles on its stems and branches. It is the national flower of Barbados. It may also be known as Barbados Flower Fence, Barbados Pride, Dwarf Poinciana, Peacock Flower, and Red Bird of Paradise. The genus, Caesalpinia, is named in honor of the 16th-century botanist, philosopher, and physician, Andreas Caesalpini. The species name, pulcher, is Latin and means beauty.

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!

The small white and pink flowers are attractive to beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies and make a great ground cover for unused garden beds or pollinator sanctuaries. This biannual flower is known as a ‘nitrogen fixer’ and is popularly grown for its ability to restore soil structure and add nitrogen to depleted soils. Alsike Clover also tolerates some shade, making it a great plant to grow under heavy nitrogen feeding crops such as corn to ensure healthy yields and soil maintenance. Even grazing animals love this plant as it is an excellent source of high protein forage.Seed Quantity NOTE: To conserve resources we combine all orders of duplicate seed quantities of the same variety into one pack.

5700+ Mammoth Red Clover Seeds | Flower Gardening Pollinator Plant Seed Packet

Untitled DocumentStoreFeedbackFollow UsRed Mammoth Cloveris a quick growing biennial prized for its ability to restore soil structure and add nitrogen to depleted soils. This clover variety grows 1 to 2 feet tall with 3-leaflet clover leaves and displays multiple round delicate & purplish pointed florets. Mammoth Red Clover will grow in more acidic soil than other clovers which usually prefer more neutral soils. The flowers are edible and may be used to garnish drinks, salads, and soups for very mild honey-like flavor. This plant provides an excellent source of forage for grazing animals and nectar for foraging bees and other pollinators. Mammoth Red Clover tolerates some shade so you can sow in between vegetable or flower rows, under tall plants such as heavy nitrogen feeding crops like corn, or under fruit trees and hardy perennials. Mammoth Red Clover is typically grown as a quick-growing biannual groundcover because of its ability to obtain nitrogen from the atmosphere and “fix” it underground onto nodules attached to its deep tap roots. This process is referred to as ‘nitrogen fixation’ and can be combined with other regenerative techniques like incorporating grazing animals, ‘green manure till-in’ techniques, mow, or cut back with a weed trimmer at the end of bloom and before seeds form. Red Mammoth Clover can re-grow after light grazing or mowing once flowering has begun to avoid reseeding. This is a great addition to any butterfly waystation or pollinator garden.Seed Quantity 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: To conserve resources we combine all orders of duplicate seed quantities of the same variety into one pack.
