Myrtlewood
Tree Seedlings
Now available
Easy to grow as a landscape ornamental or as a container
plant. The climate you live in will determine Myrtlewood's ability
to flourish out of doors. Generally, if winter snows remain on the ground
or the soil stays frozen for over three weeks, grow your plant in a
container and use as an attractive house plant or indoor garden. It would make a wonderful
bonsai. If you live in the milder parts of the country, you may enjoy
watching your Myrtlewood grow in the landscape.
We've heard from folks
in Palm Springs and Arizona that have Myrtlewood trees thriving
outside. Apparently Myrtlewood also loves the heat. Just keep them well
watered.
Full grown trees are also doing
well in Seattle and Portland.
We now have 2-3 yr seedlings available
for shipping. They are in 3"x3"x5" pots and are nursery grown and are
nice and healthy.
We do have some myrtlewood seeds/nuts. (They are difficult to germinate)
Plant them asap into moist soil about 1/2" below the surface and some of
them might germinate in 6-18 months.
Package of ~100 Myrtlewood Nuts

from the Sweet Bay Lauris nobilis. They may be a bit stronger so
use sparingly. the add a wonderful flavoring to soups, stews, and
spaghetti Sauces
