More than half of the trees I've planted are grown from seed, I guesstimate.

Hundreds of trees, dozens of species of tree seeds grown over the last 8 years. Sooo worth the wait...

My heart is overjoyed! 💚🍑🙏🏼🤗

Starting from seed has so many advantages. Stronger healthier trees, cheaper to acquire, genetic variety.

If you have the space, definitely start some from seed. I can understand getting a more mature tree if space is an issue.

Thanks for echoing that! 💚 What are your favorite trees that you started from seed?

I got 4 peach trees that around 5 years old, two of which kind of grew by accident

I also got a bunch of Tipuana Tipus, Judas Trees, and Acacias which hopefully this year provide substantial shade to my garden.

Trying to sprout apples and mulberry this year, too.

That's amazing!! Lots of diversity. I have a few peach and apple seedlings also, too young to fruit yet but getting there. Thanks for sharing 💚🙏🏼
