Flying Fox Fruits Nursery

[CalCM]

That would be fantastic, Adam. Please give us more info when you have more plants ready. Thanks again.

Greetings to all,

I'm proud to announce that my nursery, Flying Fox Fruits, is open for business. (after Jan 2. 2014)

I'm currently shipping seeds, scions, fruits (miracle fruit mostly), and plants.

My website www.FlyingFoxFruits.com is under construction, but you can still access some photos of what's in my collection.

I specialize in plants that can be fruited in containers.  My offerings consist primarily of Myrciaria/Plinia (jaboticaba varieties), Eugenias, Annonas, Garcinias, and Pouterias.

If I've posted pictures on the forum of a fruit or plant that you might want, chances are I have access to that species.

Sorry I CAN NOT SHIP PLANTS to certain states right now (CA, TX, AZ, LA, and HI), although most seeds, scions, and airlayers may be shipped to these states.

For those of you in FL, shipping charges will be cheap, and in some cases free shipping can be arranged for wholesale orders (to nurseries on our route North to AL, and South Homestead).

Thanks for your patience as I build my webpage, and start my business.   

Please feel free to contact me via email at: FlyingFoxFruits@gmail.com
or just send me a PM through the forum.

Sincerely,

Adam

Hi there,

Would you (or any other forum member, for that matter) be willing to ship young plants overseas to England in the UK? I grow tropicals (includng tropical fruit, herbs and spices) as indoor container plants. I would love to acquire a small sized mango, canistel or sapote cultivar that is capable of bearing fruit if grown in a sufficiently large (30 litre+) container on a permanent basis. I am currently growing healthy soursop/guanabana, sapodilla (manilkara zapota, of unknown variety), various citrus, lychee (of unknown variety), Hass avocado, allspice (pimenta dioica), dragonfruit and coffea arabica, but I have doubts as to whether these seed-grown plants will ever flower and bear fruit in containers. I figure that if I can successfully import live plants (preferably grafted dwarf or container-compatible cultivars), I would stand a more realistic chance of obtaining fruit.

I asked Connecticut-based Logees nursery (http://www.logees.com/ ) if they can ship plants internationally; they said that it was too difficult a task, so they've made it company policy not to ship overseas. When I made enquiries with Florida-based Top Tropicals ( http://toptropicals.com/) said that the cost of the phytosanitary certificate is prohibitively expensive (but they didn't actually quote the price).

Can anyone help?

I used to import live plant from Thailand for the latest cultivars, but It seem all the Agricultural agencies in the world made the process so arduous expensive or the duration of red tape guarantee a sick plant on a long quarantine process, i resorted to seeds rather continue with my import permits & six months post inspection there after.

So I have resorted to seeds importation with less oversight, less headache & the expense.  You will have to select seeds from early bearing variety to get any chance of pot fruiting in your greenhouse. Bear in mind that the environment you are subjugating them too is not the optimal condition & some in pot might not fruit ever; but the authority on pot culture is not me. Read Assafron Adam thread on grafting so you can get budwoods to graft.

I have two, 7 gal Priestly atemoyas for sale....they are $40 each...for local pick up only.

definitely ready to be planted, or stepped up!

[socal10b]

Do u have any loquat scions for sale adam?

[FlyingFoxFruits]

Yes!

I should have some scions for sale in the next 30-40 days...right now most of the trees are fruiting...right after they're finished, it will be time to start thinking about which varieties to propagate.

I will have to check to see which varieties I have...I'm quite certain I'll have:

Tori (one of my favorite, white flesh round fruit)
Novak (large orange, sweet fruits)
Peluche (supposed to make huge fruit, but has been reluctant to flower so far)

and should be able to get some Christmas scions too.

[socal10b]

Thx adam please make an announcement when u r ready. Cheers

[FlyingFoxFruits]

I have some Campomanesia xanthocarpa seedlings for sale (about 8-12 inch tall, 1 gal)..(sorry can't ship these to CA, TX, LA, or AZ, or HI)...they cost $15 each

Here is a thread with some info about this species http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=9504.msg121292#msg121292

It apparently is an easy tree to grow, from a subtropical area in Brazil, that can handle a freeze, and fruit in a pot.  Supposedly makes a good fruit.

[davidgarcia899]

Ill take one adam

[FlyingFoxFruits]

thanks David,

I will save you one of the largest plants.

[FlyingFoxFruits]

very limited supply of achachairus (Bolivian mangosteens) and Luc's garcinia seedlings...about 2-3yrs old....1-2ft tall..1-3gal, price depends on size of plant...$30-$40

can ship to certain states (not CA TX LA AZ or HI).

[fruitlovers]

Can you explain why you can't ship to HI? HI is not on terrible 4 list of states that requires nematode free certificate. It's probably easiest state to ship to, and why we have so many invasives here!

I always thought I couldn't ship to HI...maybe I can?

I'm sure we can work it out...if someone in HI wants me to ship.

I'm pretty sure you can. It's not at all a stringent state.

Adam,

Great adam. One of my big Jim graft failed, right time to obtain scions. Which variety produces big fruits? Thank u.
