“Many years ago when I began gardening I wanted to add tree collards. Finding cuttings was difficult and I didn't always get quality specimens. Having Project Tree Collard as a resource has increased my confidence in what I can obtain, and the quality of plants has been excellent! Thank you so much for being such a great resource”

They are authentically invested in providing growers with healthy cuttings and rooted plants and have been tireless in their efforts to share their experiences in keeping these magnificent plants happy and productive.”

“My plants arrived in perfect condition and they seemed to start growing as soon as I planted them. I very much appreciated the detailed instructions included with the order. I also loved the website with all of the helpful tree collard information and videos. I cannot wait to taste these collards when they get large enough to harvest! :)”

“I’m a repeat customer of PTC and decided to get Merritt and Purple Tree Collard seeds, and Green Tree Collard cuttings. It's been two weeks and I’m impressed with how easily the cuttings took and the success ratio of the seeds. We use them personally and to help feed my Tortoise farm with over 100 hungry tortoises to feed.”

“I bought Purple and Merritt cuttings from PTC a few years ago and now have a forest of tree collards to eat from year round in zone 8B. The plants are truly beautiful and have helped increase our food security during COVID-19. The PTC YouTube channel is helpful with learning how to care for my tree collards, and grow other edible foods.”
