The Tropical Fruit Forum

I find that, while a great introductory/PR opportunity for the masses, the Rare Fruit Council sales are not your best avenue for scoring rare plants and germplasm if you are already a member of the TFF. The best finds and connections to quality/rare plants is the network right here on this forum. I never go with intentions of being impressed. I like seeing people hear botanical names pronounced for the first time as if they had just encountered an alien species. I go just to do the same thing I do at home: mill around aimlessly amid a bunch of trees.

I think if you are a member of this forum, you need to temper your expectations. But also, recognize the opportunity it affords an entirely new demographic.
Just my 2 cents...

Yes, Bill. I just now saw this and responded to you privately about shipping. I am happy to be the drop off point for Satya. I'll have his three plants potted up for him when he arrives to pick them up!
Thank you once again.

Hi, Bill:
I noted an error in my order. Please REMOVE the female Dongkui and ADD a female An Hai.
Thanks for all of your work, AGAIN!
I see that we are already over 450 trees! Well done.

Well, Bill packed them in peat moss for the SFO to MIA transit. Upon arrival I immediately planted them in a mixture of homemade sterile media (I think 1/3 pine bark fines, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 peatmoss) after a brief soak in our local well water. Watered it lightly, stuck it in the garage (65-80F) and covered them all with a large bag for a couple weeks. Still keeping them inside so far and just watered them for a 2nd time this week. That Biqi is the best budding right now - the others are a little behind and 2 of them are just now getting small green buds.

I know there is a current question of the integrity of some seller(s) on here.  Never needed to give negative feedback yet.  But, I do want say that Abimael is a great seller.  The quality of his trees and shipping is outstanding.   His prices are exceptionally reasonable.
Only time I get upset with Abimael is when he posts an add and I already have the tree, lol.

Same. Great seller, very reasonable pricing.
Important to laud the good guys.

Thank you, Bill!

Palolo, did you get my PM?

Wtb garcinia starter plants especially Garcinia madruno the smallish yellow lemon drops.

I have both seeds and small plants of the "bumpy" madruno if that is the one you are looking for (g. acuminata).
Send a PM.

Welp I'll be sure to jump in on group #3 whenever that happens. Good luck guys!
