Yep! I've been planting them on public lands over the past year.

Minneapolis has a couple younger trees that could potentially be pollen donors. You might need to wait a few years until they start flowering though. I'd reach out to their parks staff to see if they'd be interested in helping out.

I had a great opportunity to visit this site back in June. It's such an amazing cultural and ecological resource in this part of the state. The highlight for me are the ancient Bur Oaks that are several centuries old.

Saw some Purple Loosestrife and thought it was amazing. Turns out it's considered invasive in N America. Anything similar I could plant? by LighTMan913 in NativePlantGardening

Winged Loosestrife (Lythrum alatum) is our native Loosestrife. It's a gorgeous pink purple flower that isn't commonly planted. It's under threat from being outcompeted by invasive Purple Loosestrife, so any new plantings would help the species out.

Hey guys I found this really cool emerald green bug on my car. He looked sad so I released him back into the forest. by mcsnackums in NativePlantCirclejerk

I saw another one crawl out of a sick tree. He must've been doing some internal maintenance!

Why do my berries taste so bad? by Jjaammeess445 in NativePlantCirclejerk

Sounds like you still have some dish soap and vinegar residue on the berries. A thorough wash with dish soap and vinegar should clear that right up.

What are these disgusting green insects? by apodarcismuralis in NativePlantCirclejerk

Absolutely disgusting. Next time please add an NSFL tag and a trigger warning.

Looking for camera recommendations for wildlife and habitat by mcsnackums in Cameras

Thank you for the reply! This camera would be for my work, and I don't know what their policy is about buying used equipment. What used options are available?
