Is it possible to request something for when you order? Every time I’ve tried to grow a mail-ordered pawpaw tree, they’ve died. I was thinking one from the nursery might do better, but nobody carries them. Same with bamboo. I’m pretty sure they’re in the Jung’s catalog, though.

There’s also a rosemary that’s hardy to zone 5 in the Jung’s catalog, I bet I’m not the only one around here who would like to grow rosemary outside.

No such thing as a Rosemary hardier than Zone 5. You’ll have to move to the Riviera, LOL! I grow mine outside all summer, then inside the rest of the year, under lights. I can usually get 3 years our of a ‘mother’ plant, but I make a ton of cuttings off of it for the next season.

Don’t ever plant bamboo. It’s incredibly invasive. We don’t sell it; it’s evil.

They don’t grow out paw paw in the nursery - not a popular item. If I sell six of them a season in Bare Root, it’s a lot. Those come in small pots, I think? See me in the spring (end of March/early April) and I can order in Bare Root for you, if they haven’t sold out through mail order.
