I have always given free plants and seeds. Some times they pick them at my place and others I mail.
When I mail seeds I charge only what I pay for postage. I get paid  AFTER they get their seeds (so they know how
much I paid). Forum members are very honest, I have always been paid. Remember free is not always free.

 I am going to have Green Sapote seeds (Pouteria Viridis  var.  Whitman )   in the next few days. Not too expensive, they are free. Pay only for shipping. Also if you are interested I have seeds of Mamey Sapote  (pouteria sapota - var. Pace ) and seedlings of mamey sapote (diff. varieties - I did not label them so dont know which are they. I have magana, pace and pantin.). Of course they are all free for the asking. Remember to pay only for shipping. Any body else interested just e-mail me to make arrangement.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mamey and Jackfruits - cold tolerant varieties for zone 10a
« on: May 21, 2012, 09:18:29 PM »

Mamey (pouteria sapota)  Viejo should do well in your area, Green Zapote ( pouteria viridis) is more cold tolerant than Mamey zapote  and better tasting.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: possible new order for yumberries and other exotics from chinese nursery
« on: March 02, 2012, 10:50:44 AM »
I have not imported lychee and yumberry but I have done so for mango from Thailand. The process is extremely tedious. In a nutshell , the permit took 5 to 6 months and they had to be quarantine for two years. ( I remember the many phone calls to diff gov, dept. and the unannounced tree inspections from them.)
After having said that. I would be interested in buying some mango trees.

Do any of you mango maniacs (like me ) know how to spell FRAUD (intentional deception made for personal gain). Tomorrow I am going to uproot my 18 foot sweetsensation  (aka sweethearty) and drag it to Hopkin and get my money back.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Are grafting knives necessary?
« on: January 31, 2012, 03:08:44 PM »
I have used all types of knives for grafting,  for the past 4 years I used my trusty Leatherman knife  (I have grafted a few trees ). If you are new at grafting use the recommended grafting knife. Dont forget to clean your knife every time you graft a tree, I use a chlorine solution.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Tree Spacing; Can I get away with planting more?
« on: January 28, 2012, 12:53:39 PM »
I have 10 mango trees on the north side of my property and they are doing very well.
They are 12 feet apart, how far apart are your trees. I prune  them every year to keep their hight 7 ft by 6 ft wide.
I wonder if I can make a hedge of dwarf mango trees?.
