Kyle’s Seed, Start, and Scion Wishlist

Listed are some priority plant materials I intend to beg/borrow/steal/trade for my hobby nursery and food savanna. This excludes the plant materials I’m able to scrounge locally, Also ommitted are plants I intend to obtain through native plant specialists or my own collection trips. Provenance is important to me, and everything needs to be at least theoretically hardy in a semi-arid Inland Northwest climate (dry summers, subzero winters, USDA  hardiness zone 6). My sandy loam soil dictates avoidance of plants requiring clay or calcerous soils.
