Seeds -The Foundation for a Fruitful and Abundant Future
Korean Pine Nut
Selected nut pine from the state of Michigan grown from seed at Oikos Tree Crops. Originally from northern Michigan, this seed selection is a robust pine tree worth including in all tree crop applications.
Northern American Persimmon Seeds
The new crop of American persimmon seeds is being cleaned now. Each pound contains about a 1000 seeds. The seeds are fully processed at the farm and are stored refrigerated once cleaned. Enjoy.
River Cane Plants Available
It is easy to get inspired by the vigorous growth of River Cane. Not all bamboo has this level of growth in the north. The Wisconsin form looks spectacular this year. But like all bamboo, they need to spread out and find new homes. These are the runners and it takes a special spade to root prune and then dig them out whole. You can order here for pick up and scheduling for the spring of 2027. Two Selections Available. I do the root pruning prior to harvest. You get a balled plant in a heavy woven polybag which prevents its spread if you wish.
Wild Corn-Teosinte
This ancient form of corn crossed with heirloom blue sweet corn was developed exclusively at Oikos Tree Crops. Three forms are available: Mixed, Purple and Wild. Each plant is very different or what I call "diversified". No two plants are the same. Much of what comes from it is up to you. It does pop very nicely and has a great flavor dense in corniness. Neosinte represents a new grass selection of corn before it was the corn we know today.
Pawpaw And Cornelian Cherry Plants Available
Pawpaw and cornelian cherry plants will be available this coming spring for pick up direct from the farm. These plants are 5-7 year old lightly branched bare root trees. You can order direct and schedule here for the pick up. PER 100 plants only.
Aerial-Tuberosa Yam
Selected variety of yam known for its high yields of bubils, delicious flavor and compact vine growth. Tubers are pea sized and are easy to harvest right off the vine.
