Hi Ethan,
Great list you've got there! Are you also selling seeds for these varieties?

Thanks Ethan. I will keep you in mind. There are definitely some things on your list that I am interested in growing(need to see if i'll actually have room for more plants hahah). I would much rather order from a forum member(with a good reputation so far) instead of an unknown ebay seller!

Thank for your interest Luke, I imagine most of us are out of room for plants yet more just keep showing up. ;D  I hope everyone is happy with their plants and they really take off for them this growing season.

let me know if you have any questions,
-Ethan

PS, the list changes so be on the lookout for new additions. :)

Are these your sugar apple seedlings or were they purchased from Ethan, phucvu?

Thank you guys,

Phucvu, your seedlings look fine, they should grow up nice and healthy.  You've some other great plants, you should post more about them on the open forum.   :)

Thank you Tim, I hope there was no ill intent by Phucvu but I'm honored by your words.

BTW
unfortunately I can't afford more spaces for the awesome looking trees Ethan has to offer.

many of them may be grown in pots. ;D

I'm hoping to update the list this weekend so maybe I'll find something to tempt you guys with? 8)

thanks again,
-Ethan

I just got my plants from Ethan and they are fabulous!  All in great condition and well established, I cannot recommend him highly enough (and he was able to hand deliver them to San Diego)!


Thanks Ethan!

Thank you both for your kind comments, it was great to meet you guys too!  Hopefully next trip I'll have more time, I'd love to come visit your gardens.  I hope all your plants grow like crazy in their new San Diego homes (lucky plants).

cheers,

Ethan,

The plants arrived today, as you predicted, and were in fantastic shape once again.  I potted up the Honey Heart and covered it with plastic, as you suggested.  Any suggestions on how much sun I should give the garcinias?  Thanks again!

I'm glad everything made it in good shape James, here are some excellent tips on caring for the bare root.

http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=634.msg7771#msg7771

The garcinias have been growing in filtered light, outside.  After they settle in consider potting them up, they are getting big!

I hope they grow crazy in their new home!

Just received my order ;D from Ethan of 12 plants of various sizes including 16oz, 32oz, 1gal and 2gal. Everything arrived terrifically! The man knows how to pack plants. Took me 30 minutes to unwrap everything :-)

Will do business again!

Thanks Ethan, all the plants I got were in great condition and wonderfully packed!  The Garcinia collection is wonderful; time will tell which species adapt best to being a mile above sea level...

Thank you for the kind words Kevin.  I'm glad everything made it OK and it'll be fun to see how things grow a mile high and in your basement.  The first fruiting mangosteen in CO? you can do it (unlees Luke beats you :)).

happy growing,
-Ethan
