Title: Bee Bee tree seedlings and seeds for sale.
Post by: John67x on August 31, 2014, 11:14:45 pm: I have Bee Bee tree seedlings and seeds for sale. These trees provide an excellent source of nectar yielding bloom from July well into August. This late bloom is what makes these trees so valuable to both bees and and beekeepers. I have four mature trees and standing under them in August the hum from the bee activity is just tremendous. The seedlings are in small peat pots. These pots are designed to disintegrate so transplanting isn't necessary. They can be put as is into a larger pot or right in the ground. As availability and size will fluctuate, please contact me for current info on what I have through a PM here or John677x@yahoo.com. .

One of the sites I checked on says it may be considered an "invasive" tree? After doing a search here I saw your post and have to admit I am pretty happy about having it now! ;D Lots of bees in those pics! :) :yes: 8)

They can grow quite large, but (wait a minute, just putting another check mark on the wall) not particularily fast! ;D

Post by: iddee on November 05, 2014, 08:35:10 pm: I have one that bloomed the third year at 4 feet tall. I have another that is 7 years old, 16 feet tall, and still hasn't bloomed. If it blooms the first 50 years, Perry will be here. Cryonics last for eons. :laugh:

Post by: ShepherdsWatchFarm on November 08, 2014, 02:49:04 pm: I got mine as 6" seedlings in the Summer of 2011 and now they are at least 20' tall and bloomed this year. I collected thousands of seeds.
