Hi Berto, I emailed you too regarding some seedlings or bigger tree if you have one.. If you could reply, that would be great, thanks! 

ok, thanks guys for the information! I'll check out all the places and give them a call.. 

Hi guys,

I am interested in buying a few cherimoya/atemoya trees. Originally, I was emailing Ethan on recommendations from others, but his computer was down for almost a month. I started asking other people (Norman Beard / Roger Meyer) and kept in contact with them too. Who should I purchase the trees from? haha, I feel sorry for talking with them for a while and not buying from them.. but if I do buy from all of them, then I would end up with 30 trees or something like that.. then my wife would make me sleep with the trees instead..  Can you guys give me recommendations on who to buy from, as in like who offers the better selection/prices/cultivars?

Thanks,
Michael

Is Ethan back yet? still waiting.. 

Is Ethan online yet? I still haven't received a response from him.  Hope he gets back online soon.. I want to order a few things..

wow, I'm sorry to hear that  I also ordered a 7 gallon sugar apple too from her ($65).. and it looks really good too.. just really small leaves now still sprouting.. it is about 5'+ tall too.. maybe it is because I ordered two plants together so it is packed more tightly? Yeah, she said mine shipped Tuesday and it arrived Saturday (Fedex).. where do you live?

Thanks Ethan!  Yeah, I just sent you an email asking if you had any biriba left this year.. oh, but they look so small haha.. I was hoping for a 3 gallon size?

ok thanks for the link.. but isn't that too expensive? I don't know.. I looked around and I have seen cheaper.. I hear that rollinia tends to grow very fast, so maybe I can get a tiny one or a 3 gallon one? Which do you think?

The packages arrived really good, the plants were not bent and there was a bamboo about quarter to half inch higher than the plant.. the box was taller than the plant (other nurserys bend their plants so that's not good).. like I said in my other posts, I have received plants where they bend it to fit in a smaller box and was broken in half when I got it.. the trees were in excellent shape (the abiu was really 64 inches even though I ordered the 3 gallon, almost as tall as I am) and still had all the big leaves.. the sugar apple had little leaves sprouting and lots of leaf buds and was about 5 1/2 feet too (well, because I ordered the 7 gallon one so that makes sense).. the last one is the sapodilla alano.. it was only about 4 ft tall (ordered 3 gallons) but still in excellent condition.. all the leaves are green and none fell even after being kept in the boxes for 5 days.. she shipped Tuesday and it arrived Saturday... it was estimated to come Thursday (so actually only 2 days transit), but Fedex changed their delivery estimate..

Overall Score : Excellent

Yeah, they do  I'm in Southern California.. Did they tell you they don't ship to CA?

Hi Rob/Lindsay:

I just sent an email to your blog to see if I can get any durian seeds and asking how much to ship it to California. Much thanks if you can reply back.
