FREE: Ocoee Seed

The listing, Ocoee Seed has ended.

Ocoee fruit was a prized delicacy of the Native Americans. The town of Ocoee in Tennessee was named after this fruit, as was the Ocoee River which the Olympics were held on a few years back. This fruit is different from it's western cousin. It grows on a vine, has green easter egg looking fruit that are green and turn yellow when ripe. The fruit is tart and delicious. I made jelly out of some this year and it was unreal. It is the Tennessee State wildflower.
My friend and I are wildcrafters and our seed are gathered in the remote Appalachians in East Tennessee. This seed came from vines planted by an old homestead as they were prized by the women of that time for their fruit and beautiful flowers. A taste that is unique and beautiful to boot.
These vine can be planted by shrubs and trees and they will climb making the tree look as if eggs are hanging from it.

This auction is for thirty freshly gathered seed. However, if you are willing to pay pal me 200 to help with shipping I will be much more generous with the seed count to show my appreciation.
