(Symplocos paniculata)

Does anyone have a source for (Symplocos paniculata)sapphireberry? So far, I have only found a seed source on ebay. Apparently they are very difficult to grow in containers. Not so if directly planted.

Whitman Farms (excellent Garden Watchdog rating) has them in 1-gallon pots. A few wholesalers also list them in current inventory.

Here is a link that might be useful: whitmanfarms.com

Hi brandon,
Contacted Whitman Farms the other day. They no longer supply sapphireberry. I did order seeds on ebay.
............thanks for your reply.

Polly Hill Arboretum (acid sandy soils) considers them a noxious weed.

I bet you could part a lot of free seedlings from them (as well as a million Stewartia seedlings).

It's all about perspective...
