I'm looking for about 100 trifoliate rootstock seedlings. Any ideas for a scorce?

You might be better off asking for seeds. I was in SC last year & they have Flying Dragon growing everywhere - inground.

Terry, Patti is right. If you post your thread again in the fall, many members of this forum will have mature trifoliate fruit from their trees. Trifoliate fruit are full of seeds, and they will be fresh, so you should get good germination. - Millet

You’re right. But it was worth a try. I got in a hurry. I have an acre to play with and I was hoping to get ahead start. I’ll try for seeds.

Hey Terry, Ned Rahn has some. Im not sure if he would want to part with 100 or not but you could email him and ask. I think hes coming up here for a visit before too long and could proably bring them with him when he comes. That way, your gas bill wouldnt be quite so high. I was down there Saturday and he has quite a few of them and they are in good condition. BTW I had at least two succesful grafts from your California Finger lime. They are about 3 ft tall now.. you should see them!

Stan, I'll contact Ned.
That's great news with the Finger Limes. You have the magic touch.
Now I have 2 more blooms on my Finger Lime. I think it's playing with me emotionally.
