After some research, I found out that these trees are indeed invasive in many parts of the world.
So I would be careful growing too much of it and I would keep an eye on the seeds.

If you have ears, then it worked.
Thing is, Corn is about the most self pollinating plant I've ever seen. I would never be concerned you would have to do it by hand.
In fact, if you're seeing pollen everywhere, I can almost guarantee they are fine.
Tom

Yes, they are self pollinating. Jim what does the term "partial" mean in regards to pollination?
I have a Macintosh along with my Gala for pollination but it was understood when I planted them it was not necessary for the Gala.

Did you try the tomato leaf spray here?

I've heard others have had good luck with it.

I've suspected this for a while. Thanks for the link.
Tom

Shelly, I have a Fuji s100fs. It does great for macro shots, indoor stuff, landscapes. You name it. I am very happy.

Okay folks, we are on target to get these shipped out just after Christmas. So keep harvesting and plan to ship your seeds to me in the fall after hot weather. Please don't send them before. Once you know what variety you will have, send me a message (just click on the linkthat says "pm" u...

What's your budget?

Just tested a friends Canon 5D mark II. Have to say was very impressed. Not impressed enough to ditch my Nikon D700 or D3x, but a very nice camera for a fairly low price. Still missing some key features that made me switch to Nikon, but Canon is coming along. For everyone that keeps emailing me, I s...

Well, it's not like I have been doing much contributing except seed archive and storage. Since I spend most of my summers in Alaska, it will continue to be that way for a while. So, I will take over management, but until I actually move my family to more land, it will be in trade and storage fashion...

Yes, and I do apologize to everyone.
I haven't forgotten you all. Thanks for the understanding.
Tom

Take one ounce of tomato leaves and add to one quart of water and blend thoroughly. Strain the resulting liquid and use to repel insects. This works well on white cabbage butterflies too.

I'm going to attempt a full glass greenhouse this fall in hopes of getting a better handle on maintaining the thing. My HFGH just isn't cutting it.
It's a total piece of junk and I'm fed up with it. It belongs in the dump.
Tom

OK, this HFGH has been a lesson in frustration. I am seriously considering building a real glass greenhouse with cement foundation.
Still looking for good plans. I may have to design my own.
Tom

I must profusely apologize for the forum being offline for 6 weeks. What happened was, the portal went through an upgrade and I upgraded php to 3.07. The two were not compatible and it went down. Also, I had issues with the photo gallery. This is the price you pay for after market MODs. From now on,...

Sorry, I've been very busy and a little behind. However, the seeds will be going out in a few days.
Thanks to everyone.
Tom

Yes, everyone interested just send me a PM with your address and when they are compiled, I'll send them out.
Tom

Mega Bullies.
That's a good word.
I can think of a few companies (and governments) I can use that term for.
