    Hey Mr. Fred. How long will they last before needing to be planted?

    They will last a long time, as will most seeds Keep them in a dry area. Plant them in fall or early winter.

    Mr. Fred....can you assist me with some information. I have two large trees on some property in MS. There was a tornado that hit a few years ago in the area and since then they have not had any worms on them. Any ideas on how to get the sphinx moth eggs restarted, populated? 5 years ago I had 1000s between the two trees. I actually started freezing them for future use. Any information would be appreciated.

    Find someone with worms one their trees - get some worms and put them on your tree, then let them mature, fall to the ground and borrow up. The next year you may have worms. Worms like to burrow under mulch, so mulch your trees. Worms like new growth, so heavily prune your trees in the late fall or winter.

    I have some older very large trees that do not get worms on them anymore. The 3 younger trees have worms. Some years etter than others

    Is this offer for out of state folks too? I'm not aware of any issues with shipping seeds from state to state as long as it's not an invasive plant but thought I'd ask before I mailed you an envelope.

    I think California will not allow it. Seed catalogs do it.
