Growing osage in Florida

(1/3) > >>

Eric Krewson:
A fellow contacted me about growing osage from seeds, said he wanted to plant some in Florida but didn't know if the place could grow osage.

He is located  in Melbourne which is 110 miles north of Palm Beach, and just south of Cape Canaveral.

What say you FL guys, is this possible?

Pat B:
Eddie Parker(mullet) has one growing in Lakeland, FL but from what he said it isn't doing so well.

PrimitiveTim:
I heard rumor of one in Ocala nat'l forest.

Zuma:
I think he would be better off planting his seeds in Tallahassee than Melborne.
Central Florida is about the southern extreme for the tree.

I live 100 miles west of Cocoa. I have two growing in my front yard. They are slow growing but healthy. I have started several from seeds down here.
Tim, there was actually supposed to be a grove of Osage west of New Smyrna in the Ocala National. I haven't found it or heard of anyone that new where it was.
