Because these are young, seed-grown plants, their sex cannot yet be identified. Plants are sold unsexed, so fruit production cannot be guaranteed. Planting several increases the likelihood of having both a male and a female.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hope Grows Nursery","offers":[{"title":"September 19","offer_id":46369499480200,"sku":"SHRUB-LINBEN-1","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"September 26","offer_id":46369499512968,"sku":"SHRUB-LINBEN-2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"October 3","offer_id":46369499545736,"sku":"SHRUB-LINBEN-3","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"October 10","offer_id":46369499578504,"sku":"SHRUB-LINBEN-4","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9517\/2744\/files\/IMG_5155.jpg?v=1786567758","url":"https:\/\/hopegrowsnursery.com\/products\/spicebush-lindera-benzoin","provider":"Hope Grows Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
