I was lucky enough to snag a couple of these and working on having the ability to offer these in our Etsy shop.. until then, I have always wanted to get my hands on these.  It's been a multi-year process and finally happened!  I'm going to grow these out, try them both here in DFW and at my ranch in ETX as well.  Really excited to see what happens.

Good thing these are fast in your climate - hopefully a future source of domestic seed. Hopefully some end up in warmer climates too, to safeguard against the freezes you all get in TX.

Ya that’s the plans. I have a few going to some botanical gardens like SFA and JFG and eventually when the number is high enough I’ll put them up on our Etsy shop.

Awesome! I do get a little seratonin bump when I see something I've never heard of.

Same.  There have been no real varied plantings of these outside of FL so no clue if these are viable outside of zone 9, so this will be great to figure it out.

We will have seedlings available of both in the near future!  This is a longer term project and partnership we’re thrilled about.
