            <description><![CDATA[We had somewhere between 15 and 20 at the swap.  A few people came late and some left early.  I counted 15 a couple of times, but I think some of those that were counted the second time were different than the ones I counted the first time.  As those familiar with prior swaps will know, our attendance was definitely down this time.  I think the fact that it was held on Sunday instead of Saturday and the fact that I didn&#039;t spend a lot of time promoting it online were the reasons for fewer people.<br />
<br />
Next year I plan to try really hard to reserve New Harvest as early as I possibly can.  It&#039;s crazy how early the place gets booked up.  They don&#039;t open registration up until January, but then reservations are filled in just a few days.  It would be sooooo nice to find another alternative, but so far I have not found any nicer place anywhere in Knox County.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We had another great swap.  The weather was slightly chilly, but I survived even with short pants.  I was able to find homes for around 50 plants and only had to bring back 3 or 4.  I also snagged a few great plants.  As usual, I was able to get some unusual and really neat plants.  It&#039;s kind of amazing what some people have to share!<br />
<br />
I counted people 4 times and got a different number every time (it&#039;s like corralling cats), but we had right around 65 at the swap.  It wasn&#039;t a record, but the turnout was good.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<b>Asimina triloba</b> (pawpaw) seeds <span style="color:#00CCFF">(have a few)</span> - This is the largest edible fruit indigenous to the United States and taste somewhat like banana custard.  These seeds are from my orchard and are seeds from the best pawpaw cultivars, so should produce superior plants.  They are cleaned, float tested, and in the process of being stratified.  Also have a bunch that didn&#039;t pass the float test but would still have a decent chance of growing, if someone wanted a bunch to try.<br />
<br />
<b>Gymnocladus chinensis</b> (Chinese coffeetree) 1-gallon plant <span style="color:#00CCFF">(have 1)</span> - A relatively rare species that I have found to be completely hardy here.  This is a relative of the somewhat better known Kentucky coffeetree.<br />
<br />
<b>Hibiscus coccineus</b> (scarlet rosemallow) 1-gallon plant <span style="color:#00CCFF">(all spoken for)</span> - A herbaceous perennial that produces large, showy red flowers for a long time in late summer. <span style="color:#FF9933">SteveS-2, MaryS-1</span><br />
<br />
<b>Rhus aromatica</b> (fragrant sumac) 1-gallon plant <span style="color:#00CCFF">(have 1)</span> - A native, fragrant shrub that may (if it&#039;s a female) provide food for birds and other wildlife.  Easy to grow and looks cool in any case.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[Since our normal location, New Harvest Park, was booked up immediately after the park service started taking reservations, we had to pick a new location this time.  After a lot of searching for somewhere that could possibly work, Holston River Park was chosen.  Personally, I preferred New Harvest, but that just wasn&#039;t an option.<br />
<br />
We had about 65 attendees, which was our third highest attendance in the nearly 20 years that we&#039;ve been doing the swap.  Parking wasn&#039;t too bad, but we did have to compete with some kind of bicycle event that was happening in the area.  The weather was great, and I think everyone had a great time.  I found homes for almost all of my plants and came home with some awesome new additions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Houseplants:<br />
<b>Gasteria unknown species</b> - houseplant, looks somewhat like a type of aloe<br />
<b>Kalanch oe beauverdii</b> (mother-of-thousand VINE) - houseplant<br />
<b>Schlumbergera truncata &#039;Pink Flame&#039;</b> (Thanksgiving cactus) - houseplant<br />
<b>Schlumbergera</b> - Can bring cuttings of numerous types and colors of holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter) cactus if someone wants them.<br />
<br />
Trees and shrubs:<br />
<b>Acer truncatum</b> (Shantung maple) - Small, pretty maple that only grows to about 20&#039; to 25&#039;. - <span style="color:#FF0000">taken (Martha)</span><br />
<b>Fagus grandifolia</b>  (American beech) - seedlings in one gallon pots.  Will eventually make a gorgeous and stately shade tree of 50&#039;-80&#039; tall.<br />
<b>Gymnocladus chinensis</b> (Chinese coffee tree) - seedlings in one gallon pots.  Akin to the Kentucky Coffee Tree but even rarer.<br />
<b>Populus nigra &#039;Afghanica&#039;</b> (Theves poplar) - cutting-grown plants in one gallon pots.  Fast-growing, columnar, long-lived, pollen-free poplar.<br />
<b>Quercus infectoria</b> (Aleppo oak) - seedling in one gallon pot. A very small-growing, evergreen oak that tops out at 4&#039; to 6&#039; high.<br />
<b>Rhus aromatica</b> (fragrant sumac) - seedlings in one gallon pots. Sumac, but with fragrant leaves and twigs.  A native plant that&#039;s tough and can grow just about anywhere.<br />
<b>Xanthoceras sorbifolium</b> (yellowhorn) - seedlings in one gallon pots.  A floriferous shrub that has to be seen to be appreciate.  It&#039;s mind-blowing how may flowers this cute little shrub produces.]]></description>
