No not any more. I have in the past. I like to call myself retired now. I had thought you had some specific questions. If I don't know answers, I have loads of books on the subject to research. Although I let my fingers do most research these days.

My husband taught agriculture in city schools. The last half of his career he called 'posy production'. But he loved growing trees from seeds most. I was a volunteer in the classes. We had 3 large greenhouses to propagate and an acre-plus to field grow. And I just like trees.

And what we grew was not for profit. The students and their families had first pick of what was grown, then the staff and after that some community beautification efforts for parkways and such. It all worked out and we all learned a lot and it was fun. But retirement suits us now.

Not to butt in but I love growing tree from seed. Just for the fun of it then I give them away. Did some from cuttings as well so cool.
