HAVE: Blue Bean Trees for Brinnon

19 years ago

Hi! I have a bumper crop of Decaisnea fargesii/blue been trees, for the Brinnon swap.

These are unusual deciduous small trees, with very cool 5" metallic blue 'bean pods' which are edible (if you're adventurous----I'm not. My friend Rachel said they taste like Lychee fruit, only slimier)...

At any rate, the trees are attractive on their own, but the blue 'bean pods' really steal the show.

You need two for cross-pollination.

Who's interested in a trade?

I would love a couple for my daughters tropical-look island. What are you looking for? Thanks for the sedum start, too!

I'd really like a couple as well! See anything on my trade lists that interests you?

If you have extras after trading, would you consider donating some for us to sell at the LeeAnna Darby benefit plant sale in May? It'd be nice to have unusual plant material to spice up the sale.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Teresa,
I'm always looking for tomato starts---is it too early for those? Also, zucchini starts, garlic varieties, cannas, woodland wildflowers, epimediums, the list goes on and on.
What have ya got?
And Patrick, I'll put your name on a couple as well...I'll probably send a half dozen seedlings along to the LeeAnna Darby event. I've got blue beans coming out of my ears! (not literally...that would be wierd)
See you in Brinnon---

Hi Lisa,
I do have several tomatoes started-Sun Gold, Juliet, Yellow Pear, Glacier, Legend, Oregon Spring, and Quick Pick. Let me know what you would like. They are small, but growing fast! I hadn't planned on starting so many, but I decided that the extra would go to LeeAnna's event. I potted up some Schizanthus pinnatus (Butterfly flower 'royal pierrot'-annual), Orlaya grandiflora (white lace flower-annual), and catananche caerulea (cupid's dart-perennial)today. I could also let you know what else I pot up, if nothing is really appealling.

Oooooh yeah, I'd love some tomato starts, Teresa---how about one each of the Sungold, Yellow Pear, Glacier and Legend? I'll bring you a pair of Blue Beans and a few different sedums for your 'Thomas Hobbs planters'...
I'm looking forward to this trade! Are you bringing that adorable baby?

My adorable baby is already 2 and 1/2! Yes, she and my husband will be there at least for awhile. I've got you down for the tomatoes you want.

If you have any left I'd love to get two. Would you like a piece of Epimedium x perralchicum 'Frohnleiten'?

Hey Mike!!! Yes, of course, I'll put your name on a couple...I'm interested in hearing about your new abode, and how the move went.
I can always use more epimediums. Thanks!
