Bulk Leaves for sale

[JimO]

Hello, I have leaves and leaf litter for sale in bulk quantities of 1 cubic ft (cf) or more. I can ship boxes up to 12 cf in size by UPS Ground and the bigger the box the lower the shipping cost per unit volume of leaves.

Magnolia leaves are hand gathered and have little to no debris. Here is a photo of leaves from several collection sites.



Magnolia leaves are $12/cf plus shipping for 5 cf or more, and $15/cf plus shipping for <5 cf.

I offer Live Oak leaves as leaf litter because there is a small percentage of other material in with the leaves, but it is 95% or more Live Oak leaves.



Live Oak leaf litter is $10/cf plus shipping for 5 cf or more, and $12/cf for <5 cf.

I also have the following available in limited quantities for those who want leaves to be as much decoration as functional litter. These are Loblolly Bay leaves and they are beautiful. They have a striking red color when they first fall and retain a rich red/brown mahogany color for some time after they dry out. They are also sturdy leaves - similar to oaks and magnolias. Here's a photo.



Loblolly Bays drop leaves year round and are found among very thick underbrush, so they have to be hand gathered one at a time. But, that means almost no debris. As a result, I can offer a limited amount in smaller bulk quantities for $28/cubic foot (cf) plus shipping. However, the unit price is still less than the going rate for gallon bags of more common leaves. There are 7.5 gals per cf, so the price for these beautiful leaves is equivlant to $4 per gal.

Depending on box size and weight, shipping has been running from ~ $8 to $20 per box for UPS Ground. I've shipped to New England, the Midwest and as far west as Colorado in this price range.

Prices do not include sterilization (boiling and drying). I'm willing to do that as well. If interested, we can negotiate a fair price.

Who did you ship to in New England? You can answer in PM.

I still have lots of leaves and leaf litter. I have several types of live oak leaves - the more familiar southern live oak and two size varieties of sand live oak. The sand live oak is nearly as common as the southern live oak near the coast. It's leaves are much more variable in size and shape from one tree to the next. The leaves are thicker and much more concave than those from the southern live oak. I like them better because they last longer in the viv and their shape allows for more hide spots in the leaf litter.

I still prefer selling in bulk and am willing to put batches in 1-gal zip bags, but can offer bagged leaves in quantities of 3 bags or more, if you want some of several types.

Prices are negotiable, particularly in larger quantities, so make me an offer.

Very attractive but I just got a bunch of live oak leaves a few weeks ago. The magnolias are the most attractive to me.

I am interested in buying REAL colorful Fall/Autumn leaves in bulk. I want to send them to my 2 year old granddaughter, who has never
seen Fall leaves (in color) or played in a pile of raked leaves! I want to buy enough real leaves to send her in Nevada so she can play in them.
