Yes nursery stock, I have been doing everything from seedlings (liners) to field stock and germinate all my own for around six years now. I had around 5,000 currently which are mostly pindo palms with several hundred windmills and european fans. When I'm finished I will have 8-10 acres of field stock pindos and an acre of european fans.The rest are 3 and 7 gal nursery stock and will be sold. Currently I have 4 acres of pindos and 1 acre of european fans but I am constantly working on my fields to add more, in fact half of that mat in the second pic is now in the field.

The ones I transplant to the fields are three year olds and in 10-15 years will be pulled and sold. I grow them in low areas around our pines and that field in the pic is where 8 acres of loblollys didn't make it.

Ready for a replant. Pulled the last of the kale (in the pot now with some thick bacon), and tilled in 2 bins full of compost. Just finished hilling it up and gotta figure what to stick in there to tide me over till I get ready for fall plants

How do you keep all your peppers from crossing?

How do you keep all your peppers from crossing?

Peppers don't cross, "per se", like most folks believe.
Example...
If a jalapeno bloom pollinates a banana pepper bloom(or vice versa) and produces a pepper, the pepper will not be a jalapeno/banana cross. The cross will only show up if you take the seeds from that pepper(that grew from the cross pollinated bloom) and plant them, then it's peppers will be a jalapeno/banana pepper cross.

Hence the reason I don't worry about it, and I start with new seeds every year. However, I do have a few "super hots" secluded in different sections of the yard to prevent cross pollination, as I do save seeds from them
