The range pushing. Would KSU Chappell be a good choice for Northwestern Kansas?

I am considering vigorous cultivars to plant in Central and Northwestern Kansas, which is outside of the normal pawpaw growing range. Do you think KSU Chappelle would grow well here? It is windier and dryer than other parts of the state and was hoping something with vigorous growth habits might regrow quicker if damaged by the high winds of Kansas.

Weston Missouri Pawpaw festival.

I had never tried pawpaw despite having four young ones in the ground. Finally got to try some, bought a grafted prima tree, and scored a bunch of seeds and some frozen pulp along with a cool book. Pawpaw for the win.

Has anyone ever cut open an apple to find a partially sprouted apple seed?

Kansas, USA. What tree is this. Broken leaves don’t smell rotten. More has a nut or peanut smell.

Snailbert, the Sharpie art backdrop for my YouTube channel.

I love to smear sharpies together like they are paint.

Pawpaws are doing great except Susquehanna, but perhaps giving it more light will help it.

Found these on a Sunflower today. I am going to keep an eye on these.

I was walking through the sunflowers and found some with these creatures on them. I am gonna keep an eye on them. Will they hurt, or help the sunflower? Will birds come and eat them? If they eat the whole sunflower would it affect the whole plant? Don’t know but going to watch it happen at the speed of time. Excited to learn.

I am looking for some seeds this fall for planting and grafting onto. Would anyone with trees growing in the KS/ MO area be willing to sell some good seeds?

I am going to be doing some grafting of scions next year and I am looking for Pawpaw seeds from cultivars acclimated to our KS/MO climate. I am looking for some seeds to sow in place then later to graft a cutting or two onto. I am new to pawpaw, have four young trees, but have never been able to try a fruit yet, but still need some seeds. I will be sowing any extra seeds into some wild areas to revisit later to check on how they are doing as well. Thanks. 🙂🙏❤️

Are all Aloe Vera plants medicinal? The first two pics seem like a different species

Is it ok to use the gel from the plant in the first two pics? The last two are our normal Aloe we use for sunburns. The first two are from Grandma’s and she may have gotten this from the wild, possibly southwest or even Mexico, don’t really know as she has passed.

Kind of disappointed as I did not know these do not have pollen. Now I don’t even want to plant them. Do they make a green sunflower that does produce pollen?
