I have quite a few seeds available of the Blue Bean Shrub or Blue
Sausage Shrub, Decaisnea fargesii. The plant is described in both
the Heronswood and ForestFarm catalog, along with a photo at the
following site:
http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systax/dendrologie/decais.htm
A very interesting shrub, appearing much like a small black walnut in
terms of leaf shape. The "beans" contain an edible, but seedy pulp.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to send along some seeds for a
SASE. The seeds are fairly large (3/16" diameter) and will germinate
erratically over 30-180 days, sown in the spring.
