Mary, if that is what you wanted, you should take it! I don't really have a place in mind for it. It was just something that would be hard to pass up if no one else wanted it.by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have

Brandon's Want List - 4 days ago
I know this is a long shot, but I would LOVE to find someone interested in weeding (and possibly more) part-time at Sanctuary Arboretum and Botanical Garden 15 to 20 minutes east of downtown Knoxville in Mascot TN. This would be in independent-contract type position (as opposed to a company employee) where you would set your own hours and work with minimal supervision. We were recently certified aby Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Want
Re: Kim's Have List - 4 days ago
Mary, do you mean the Rosa gallica versicolor ‘Tuscany Superb’ or the Rosa carolina? In the unlikely event that Mary is talking about the Rosa carolina, I'd be interested in the 'Tuscany Superb'. I'm also interested in the Rachel Jackson aster.by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have

I think I have noted everyone's picks up to this point. If not, please let me know. Promise and MaryS, if you can use more that one Toon, let me know. I have a lot. BTW, they can be kept very small (around 6' or maybe less) with pruning.by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have

Re: Mary S. I have a few of each - 9 days ago
If the leaves look like little brown jug, it won't be Boesenbergia rotunda. The leaf-shape/form of that plant is totally different. It sounds like one of the Asarums, and, if it's Chinese, it's most likely to be Asarum splendens. You can find pictures of that plant pretty easily online.by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have

Re: Leigh's Have List - 20 days ago
I am so glad to finally know (again) what I have! I am gonna give it a permanent label. If you have lots, I would take another one, but only if you have plenty.by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have
Re: Leigh's Have List - 25 days ago
Hey Leigh, did you bring Rubus idaeus 'Jewel Black' before, labeled with paper taped around a plastic knife? I have one, that I got from the swap, but cannot clearly read the name. The label does have Rubus idaeus written pretty clearly, but the rest faded out. It does look like it could say 'Jewel....'by Brandon7 - Spring 2026 Have

Swap Results - 7 months ago
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 aby Brandon7 - Fall 2025 Results

Spring 2025 ETPS Results - 12 months ago
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's kind of amazing what some people have to share! I counted people 4 times and got a different number eveby Brandon7 - Spring 2025 Results

1-gallon (trade gallon) or larger thermoformed/co-extruded/euro nursery pots. Thermoformed/co-extruded/euro pots are the thin but long-lasting pots like Proven Winners plants come in. I really don't need more blow-mold (standard cheap pots that break down pretty quickly) right now.

Asimina triloba (pawpaw) seeds (have a few) - 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't pass the float test but woby Brandon7 - Fall 2024 Have
