Kerr is the big white blossom tree on left. Chestnut short white tree between the purple and pink. Picture was taken April 22 southern Michigan around the Lansing area. Hope this helps.

The company bags soil mixes like you buy at Lowe’s. The rice hulls are mixed in some soils for multiple reasons. PH neutral, aeration, moisture retention amongst other things. You can also buy rice hulls at places that sell home brewing supplies.

Interesting. I was told by the Bee & Butterfly Habitat fund that the reason they use rice hulls is because their cup shaped and it makes it difficult for the seed to separate. I have a place by me that sells 50 pound bags of compressed rice hulls for $30. I use rice hulls for all small seeds.

Pumpkin seed-definitely treated.

Yes, they do.

Preferred summer browse on my place. Must cage to grow.

Red Fuji (late drop) starts becoming ripe around Halloween in south Central Michigan would be my number one choice. Enterprise, Cripps pink lady, gold rush and pixie crunch would also be solid choices in my opinion.

I did a side-by-side comparison of beans a couple years ago. Enlist AG and a couple different Eagle mixes. There was a clear winner by far. Eagle Managers mix mid-west. Good pod production and stayed green 6 weeks longer than Enlist AG beans. I was amazed how green this field was in Oct and what...

I have not. They are very popular with the wildlife. Very consistent with a long drop time.

My Kerr seedlings from Morse nursery are marble sized and heavy bearers every year.
