At age 54 I would be 74 years old or more likely dead, LOL, before it began to produce

There are growers that sell the seeds, not cheap, but it is part of a reintroduction of the greatest tree in North America that most people have never seen,
Some of the seeds I planted are now into their fourth year, it takes about 17 years for them to mature to produce seed.
I have a small quantity of first year seedlings for free if anyone has some land with well drained sandy loam soil.
