I am looking for osage saplings or seeds to plant on  my property in western NC.  Anyone know where to look?

I don't know of saplings but anyone with osage around could send you some hedge abbles they have thousands of seads in each.

Takes a LONG time for a osage to get big enough to make a bow though.

I've got thousands of bodarc balls on the ground now.....I can get you some seeds.....PM me.

here is a site that sells seedlings if you are interested in jump starting the process.  http://www.musserforests.com

You can get seedlings from the Missouri forestry department. They start taking orders Nov 15. Their price for 25 saplings is around $8-10 bucks and they will sell to someone out of state.

also

Thanks for all the help guys, i am planting these for my son to harvest when he is my age to make a bow for his kid.  Gotta think about that seven generation thing.
