In this picture you can see some of the over 20,000 plants we have started in the main, solar-heated greenhouse (starting on February 2; this picture taken Feb. 28). Each of those tags is in one frame = 98 plants! This is more than we produced all last year, but we are already sold out of some classes. Below is a copy of the email I just sent out to our catalog list; send an email to orders@badgersett.com if you didn't get that email, and want to be on the list.These availability numbers are of course estimates, because of variability in seed germination, the growing season, and customers' cancellation or postponement of outstanding orders. If you want plants that are "sold out", you can still send in your order to save your spot in line for when they do become available, and if you specify "ship when ready" for a ship date, we may be able to get you plants earlier than we expected. As always, your order is more likely to be filled if you specify that you WILL take substitutions.
PLEASE NOTE: We have reduced our minimum order to $50, but this has not yet been changed on the website.
REGARDING EXPERIMENTAL HAZELS: These are rated "Experimental" because they either have a teeny bit of Eastern Filbert Blight on them, or we don't have enough years of crop records in the database. A substantial number of these plants will end up being upgraded to "Guaranteed" as we process the backlog of data from the past several harvests. In long-term planting planning, we would be very comfortable planting 50% Experimental. Higher percentage experimental at higher densities will have marginally higher initial costs, but are likely to produce a substantially better final stand.
