It took everything in me not to order a few hundred .. I think the main complaint that folks have about digging out and selling ramps is the selling of them for food, not the selling of them to establish new colonies of them .. but there are folks out there that will still complain, that they "aren't native" and that that somehow makes them bad. Some folks tend to forget that just 20,000 years ago, there was a sheet of ice over two miles thick covering everything North of Kansas, and that NOTHING under where that ice sheet was is "Native". The land is healing, humans are helping by bringing in species to fill vacant niches in the ecosystem, and there is nothing bad about that.
I don't feel bad at all about moving plants around. If you ever want to order a few hundred, send me an email through the website and we can make a good price for you. Thanks
@@akivasilver-twistedtreefar3930 I'm trying out 5 in a spot that would be good for them, if I was back East .. If they don't want to grow out here, I don't want to kill too many!
Thanks for the info Akiva! ID-ing is definitely one of the things I've been working on as well, especially when they are young. Great idea on the protection piles too!
Great information, Akiva. I bought your book and it turned me onto bitternuts, and searching youtube for bitternuts brought your videos up, lol. I'm going to buy a bunch of seed and start planting them, can't have enough edible oil. I'm in the central valley of California, so not sure if they'll do well here with the hot, dry summers. My property often floods in winter though, and it sounds like that's what they're adapted to, so hopefully they take. I'm thinking of planting the nuts directly in the ground in the Fall (where I already have irrigation lines) so I don't have to bother stratifying them. Do you think that would be a waste of time?
Thanks! I noticed some Geranium robertianium in the background. Is that a big problem there? It can become a pretty serious understory competitor in the Pacific Northwest where I am. I think it may actually shade out young tree seedlings.
Possibly 6 years old that's crazy, then you see some trees like black locust, sycamore, or mulberry put on 6 + feet a year, depending on the situation.

So true. I really believe that we humans are here to be the observers and see the patterns that will help all ecosystems flourish!
