Who We Are

I provide hickory nut kernel and milkings, tree crop seed, seedlings, grafted plants, field grafting services, and consulting. Email or call to make a request. See our Variety List for more on what we offer.

I focus on selection, breeding, research, and development of Shagbark hybrids with Yellowbud and other hickory species, American Persimmon, and Honey Locust. I also can propagate Black Walnut.

I am willing to ship plants to any state touching WI. Will provide scion outside to breeders. I only specialize in plants suited zone 4a to zone 5a for upper midwest.
