: Thanks Tom. Aquiring all of these

: I just found a sexed pair of
: latifolias that cost $600 and I just
: set a cone full of seeds that will
: go for $1100 next year if I want to
: sell them. Hildaes are even cheaper
: than that. I just sold a sexed pair
: of hildaes that had cones ready to
: go this season for $150 and the
: female would hold $250 worth of
: seeds if pollinated. It sure beats
: shelling out a lot of money I don't
: have for plants, thats for sure.
Do you have any mature and paired plants for sale like Panzhiahuensis or Debaoensis?.(Love those plants)
I agree totally on what you said. have bought tons of seeds, and have no regrets, but they money does add up.
In another 30 years or so, some of my seedlings may produce seeds, but I'll be dead by then.
Maybe investing in breeding pairs help to pay for buying seeds.
