We are a custom plant propagation laboratory.  If you have a request you don’t see listed here, ask us.  We will work with you to meet your needs.

Specific parentage can be kept confidential.  Just submit the pod with your own identification.  However, certain genera require specialized media and/or procedures.  We need to know the genera that are parenting the cross. 

It is the policy of Rockbridge Laboratory Services that all seedlings produced from your pods remain your property.  All seedlings produced in excess of your order shall be destroyed.
