If you enjoy trying something uncommon, these seeds are a great pick. They sprouted well in my small greenhouse, and I�m already planning where to plant them permanently.
These seeds were a bit of an experiment for me, but so far, it�s paying off. The sprouts are healthy, and I�m excited to see if I can successfully raise them to fruiting trees.
Even as small seedlings, these sourwood plants already look lovely. I can imagine how beautiful they�ll be as full trees, not to mention the unique fruit they�ll bring.
I didn�t expect such a high germination rate, but nearly all my seeds sprouted. The young plants look sturdy, and I�m hopeful they�ll handle the local climate well.
I grew up around sourwood trees in the South and wanted to bring that memory into my yard. These seeds are the real deal, sprouting into promising little plants. It feels like bringing a piece of home back.
