Orient Pear
Goldenrain Tree - Taken
Plum Tree - Taken
Red Bud - Taken
Peach
Sassafrass - CLAIMED Frostweed
All trees in the 4-10 foot range, I will dig and would love to swap for houseplants. They will be bare root and I need time to dig each one but I will be more than ready to give them to a good home too. These need out of here soon or I am going to have to dig them out and toss them - LMK if interested.
Mitch - In Glenn Heights TX just South of Dallas on I35.

Anyone want . . .
Adding there are two agaves here to that are free for the taking, they are in the way for getting the house ready for sale.
Mitch can I have one Agave and the Sassafras?
Sure thing - when can you come? I can have that beebrush and sage ready at the same time. That tree is little and will be simpe to dig when you get here.
I can come this afternoon, will that be O.K?
Can it be Monday late Josephine? We are hosting a big todo tongiht and I am "cleaning..." well I am between adding on Daves.
No problem, but tomorrow I have Master naturalist meeting, I can come Tuesday Thursday or Friday, which one is best for you?
Tue is great - I get home by 4:00 on Tue and can be ready for ya.
Alright see you Tuesday.
Well I went to Mitch's house and came back loaded.
1 Whitebud tree
1 Sassafras
2 Cenizos
1Beebrush
2 Agaves
Did I forget something?
It looks like I will have a very busy day tomorrow planting away.
Thank you very much Mitch, you are a sweetheart.
Josephine.
WOW!!! what a haul! How sweet of you to share Mitch!
The rock rose -
Yes, I am sorry Mitch, the beautiful Rock Rose, and a very good size shrub it is.
Thank you very much again.
No problem!
I still have a peach and a Asain Pear here up for grabs...
Dang!
mm is the pear one to grow outside all year or one to move in and out?
dang I missed the Agaves LOL
and come spring anyone wanting sassafras I am sure there will more sprout up here
The pear is out all year - it is a tree, very nice. What it?
Bronc - want the peach tree?
sure I can give it a home..I like pears and then I can make pear pie LOL
I'd offer to take the peach but we already have 4 peach trees here now
and when do I need to get it?
I know we are going to Waco Saturday to Dr Pepper museum and will be over in Dallas the 6th to take step son back to airport
I can have it readyon the 6th outside on the porch, I dont have a pot for it so it will be bare root. Just shoot me a dmail on the 5th to remind me to have it out there and ready for you with how to get here.
No, I just can't believe you still have stuff to give away!
Come on one last tree - and the goats could not eat it all?
Are you kidding I already gave Christi this week another pick up load, and filled Josephines car up too... I have a trade coming for a very old lamp that will fill another car up too... and the plum above. They keep telling me we ahve too many fruit trees out there and I need less... so we will see.
Plum?
Peach
Dang! I was gonna take a plum tree!
Well I have a plum you can have that is 7 years old... but you will have to help me dig it. I was just going to cut that one below the ground level. It is not too big and should not be too hard to dig, it si smaller then the other plum I am going to dig out !
When can you come and dig?
7 years old? How tall is it? I don't know if I can dig a hole big enough to plant it in at my place! You gotta remember, I'm on solid limestone. Got any dynamite?
It might be 5 foot tall, if we get it soon we can root prune it when we take it out and trim the top growth and you should be fine.
Ok, it'll be this weekend when I'm not replacing shingels on our roof. OK by you?
Fine by me - give me a ring and let me know when you are ready. - You want the peach to - right?
Hey guys, I am beat, but so happy. I just finished potting up all the plants I got from Mitch yesterday, all the ones listed previously plus two Autumn sage and one
white mealy sage.
I also cut back the Whitebud and made hardwood cuttings and if they root there will be some to share.
On top of all this, I worked at the greenhouse this morning, and we dug and potted up 72 quarts of coral berry and turk's cap, I still have to get dinner ready and go to choir practice.
I think I will sleep well tonight.
Josephine.
I am sure you will! Forgot about the savlias too... did you find a place for all of them at the fielder house or did some come home with you?
potted up quarts of turk's cap? how do you do that?
I potted them all here at the house, I want to be sure I give them the best place possible. This way I don't have to be rushed to plant them in ground.
They gave us more space at fielder house, we now have 200 linear feet of space to work with, actually the whole perimeter of the garden, so I want to plan it well.
Hi Nada, we dig them up and divide them to one or two stems and put them in quart size pots, it works very well.

That wraps everything up here - There are a few bedding plants I can give to each of ya when you are here.
You are too kind, sir, too kind.
