 I made this a general topic so others can post plants they want to give away, too.

 Right now, I have honeyberries. Three bushes, one each of "Blue moon", "Blue Forest", and "Blue Velvet". They are 2 to 3 feet tall, bearing size, and doing well; but they just don't fit into my landscape plan.

 Please contact me directly: Rick Shory, rickshory@gmail.com, 503-253-8100. I'm in NE Portland near Gateway. I'll post an update when these are taken, so you'll know if this offer is obsolete.

Good idea Rick. Very generous of you. I've got plenty of honeyberries, but I'm sure someone will take you up on it.

Great idea Rick!  I was tempted, but I have 10 Haskaps from 5 of Maxine Thompson's selections so I should content myself with those.

Honeyberries are one of the easiest things to grow and make superlative jam.

I have 1 or 2 seedling Aronia in the ground that will be looking for a new home so I can make room for some Poorman gooseberries.  I'm not sure if the Aronia are red or black fruited.  If they aren't claimed, I'll likely move them out of the protected berry area and see if they survive in the open.

Rick, Thank you for the honeyberry plants.  They are happily planted here now.  Do you happen to remember about when these honeyberries fruited? Just curious.

Thank you again so much and my family also thanks you.

I have a couple of figs trees to give away.  One is LSU Tiger.  Bears nice big juicy figs.   good size and bore numerous figs last year.  I have one in ground already, reducing container garden and need the container for something else.

 

Also a couple of NOID figs started in 3014, in containers.

 Brown turkey fig, about 3 years old, looks like it will bear this coming season as it has breba buds.

Apple tree, vigorous seedling so will likely grow to standard size. Black backdrop in photo is to make it easier to see the size & shape.

DanielW, 

My email is taffiec40@gmail.com

 

I've thought for a few years that I'd like to plant a fig someday, so thank you for giving me the opportunity!

 This one is now given away. I leave them here a week or so, then post to Craig's List, where they get taken within hours.
