The caged teaweed is mature now. It�s got a boatload of seed on the bushes. This is only a small fraction of the seed. I've got several bushes spilling out of the baskets. All of those little bulbs contains a cluster of seeds. All I�m doing is cutting the branches into sections and pitching them here and there around the field. I figure it�ll seed itself enough to get it started in patches. I really like this plant so far. The deer left it alone there for a little while but they came back to it late in the summer just before it seeded.
Here�s something else I really liked. This is the soil underneath the plants. The thick canopy is excellent for decomposing biomass on the soil surfaace. This would be a perfect soil surface to broadcast a seed onto and let germinate under the canopy of the teawead before mowing it and removing the overstory. It's extremely light and fluffy.
