If anyone have never bought seeds from Oscar before you should go on his website today and order some because they are consistently the best quality seeds. I've ordered from him a few times and the seeds have always arrived quickly and were viable. I actually just ordered some Theobroma bicolor seeds yesterday.
Mango scions are $5 each, minimum 2 each, total minimum $100, you can mix and match cultivars. Yes can send to California.
Oscar
Sorry cannot do small quantities. Have $100 minimum. Lots of red tape, especially to California.

All of you Southern California people should join together and do a big batch order that will meet the $100 min requirement.

Thanks Murahilin, i've done batch orders like that for CRFG chapters in Arizona an and Florida. Could do the same if interested for California.

There is no specific dessert mango lol all your mangos grow well in your area.

When will these be available? in Southern California we would need them by the first week of May.

I got it, you suggested to wait for the order until May? I send a response saying it would late april would be a good time to order. We have enough for the order now, just need to get everyone ready to go in April.
i would like a mamey sapote and makok sapodilla if the price is right, but the list is earlier than 2009 so i don't know if the prices are still true.
aren't airlayers plants? ???
do i have to email you to get the prices?
I have had a few email me with interest in airlayer lychees as well. Someone suggested that we could meet at Green Scene to exchange the scion and air layers. I think this would be a good option, however its April 15th (I know JF wanted the scion first week of May because of the grafter appointment). Perhaps the appointment could be moved up?
If not we can stick to the first week of May, and pick a location possibly in Los Angeles county to meet up and exchange. Also I would prefer paypal as the method to get the money for the order together (this would make the process easier, and more organized to keep track of who paid for what). You can always email me through the forums, you can also talk to me on the phone as well after contacting me through email.
On the shipping costs, I was thinking those that order airlayers pay more towards the shipping then those that order the scion (any ideas or advice on the shipping feel free to msg me). Not sure what the shipping costs would look like, but I am sure it would be at least $50.

I couldn't guarantee a specific date for shipment because air layers take their time to form good root balls, and would have to send when all are ready together. Shipment cost will depend on weight of package: how many air layers ordered? It might be better to do 2 shipments, one of scion and one of airlayers, since the scions could be sent at any time.

I would like to get a No Mai Tze Lychee. Is anyone else interested?
Richard,
I might be interested in an air layer or two. It would depend on pricing, primarily, and whether we could organize a large enough group to order. Oscar, is the minimum order for air-layers $100, the same as for scions? Can you say how much a lychee air layer would run, or should I email you for that info? Thanks.
James
Got my seeds, Oscar. They are beautiful. Thanks!
Kamusta Oscar,
I am Berns, from the Philippines. I would like to say that the scions I ordered to you like Edward, Rapoza and Golden Glow Mangoes are doing great. While the Sharwil Avocado is still in a big pot and will be planted on the ground soon. :) Thanks for accommodating me. I am interested in getting different varieties of Longan and Lychee scions for trial planting here in the Philippines. I hope you can help me on this.
Is grafting longan and lychee possible ,, i though you need to air-layer them.
Amr

Also, remember a seed grown lychee will send out a tap root, that's also another advantage to air layering them...you get a lot more lateral root growth with air layering methods (which makes for a sturdier tree) which is good for rocky soils ie, miami/dade counties..

A grafted tree will be less easily toppled over than an air layered tree. Whitman preferred airlayers in hurricane area, his thinking was that even if toppled or snaps whole tree is same cultivar and can be righted or can resprout from roots. If a grafted tree snaps you may only be left with the rootstock.
I just carted off some of the lychee trunks i cut over a month ago. Lo and behold one of the trunks just laying on the ground was starting to sprout out, like a giant cutting that hadn't even been stuck in the ground!
Wow, go figure.....never would have thought that could happen. Very interesting. Maybe in Hawaii's super moist environment, lychee cuttings might be another way to successfully propagate.

Regarding mango scions, how long after you ship them will they still be viable ?
Hi Natalie from New Zealand here how much for seeds to be sent to New Zealand with a phytosanitary certificate?
Is there a problem with fruitlovers website? I can't get it to load. Thanks!Not for me, I was able to get on with no problems.

Hi
is there an suggestion for reliable and tasty Jackfruit cultivar available to grow from seed?
and about the cheena, how dos it compare in taste\odor intensity and sweetness?
is growing jackfruit from seeds and having high expectations contradicting each other?
I'd like to make an calculated risk and need advice.
wile baying seeds online there is one item under Jackfruit,
can i specify there that i fancy Black Gold and Golden Nugget ?
or should i contact you before purchasing
Hello Oscar, any idea when the cambuca might be ripe?
thanks,

hi oscar
i live in israel
can you please advise which fruit can do well in here
and which one you have available at the momnet?
thanks
Hey Oscar, enlighten me about Theobroma bicolor. Is it more or less cold tolerant than Theobroma cacao?
It is about as cold tolerant, but less sun tolerant and less tolerant of dry and windy conditions. Some strains of cacao are quite tough, then Cupuassu comes next, then Mocambo - but if well protected and watered well they should do okay. They are a magnet for mealy bugs though. I had one in ground that did well during our wet years, but this past few months has been super dry and no cloud cover with plenty of wind (so dry Im sneezing blood!), so its a gonner - the Cacao next to it is sad, but fine.
I've always wanted to put in some Theobroma, but I have always been nervous to make the investment. I now have a line of bananas planted between two rows of trees and I think it would make a good place for it because it has created a shaded tunnel wit high humidity.
A lot will depend on amount of cloud cover. If you are in an area where it hardly ever rains cacao will definitely need some shade and irrigation. Here cacao, and also coffee, can be grown in full sun.

Don't know much about Coffee, but did hear about new variety that can take full sun, but rumor is that quality is not as good as the shade lovers,
Here in the DR, Cacao is typically planted under trees like breadfruit or "Madre de Cacao" ( Cacao's Mother ). Cacao likes moisture, and does ok even in clay soils.
Ordered a few seeds (the Rainforest plum as it looked so neat in the pictures you posted). While your customer service is well established here I still want to say a big 'thanks' for the super prompt shipment. I will be checking back again for more seed to expand my collection!
Hi Oscar,
Will you still take an order?
I'm hoping to get my hands on the Lorenzi book and possibly a few seeds.
Thanks,
Bruce.
He's baack!
or at least posting again!
glad to have u back Oscar.
you've contributed a great deal of important info and pictures.
u r second to none.
btw, got any Eugenia candolleana seeds for sale?
Hi Oscar,
Do you still have white pomegranate seeds to sell?
Jaime
I have small mailable plants of Inga vulpina right now for sale. The vulpina is a dwarf type of Inga for those of you who don't have space in their backyards. This is a nitrogen fixing tree, so will grow in extremely poor soils. Usually maxes out at 20-25 feet. Very ornamental with unusual pink flowers (most ingas have white flowers). The pods are short and stubby with a velvety coating on the outside. This species is very widely adapted. In its native Brazil grows all the way from tropical NE Bahia to the much cooler Catarina in s. Brazil. Price is $25 per plants plus s&h.

Oscar,
Interested in atemoya scions, what varieties do you have? :)
Hey oscar, could mamey sapote be grafted onto a suebelle sapote? Thanks- Jackson
Jackson, maybe you can graft a mamey onto a green sapote, lucuma, or sapodilla. I'm not sure if it's practical at all given how slow they grow. It must take a long time for grafts to heal too.
Black sapote is also different, basically an astringent persimmon.

Thought you might like to know that i have seeds of Flying saucer fruit (Campomanesia phaea), also known as cambui, available now. Please check seed page on my website: http://fruitlovers.com/seedlist.html (http://fruitlovers.com/seedlist.html)
Thanks,
I thought you realized that your tree was mislabeled and wasnt Campomanesia phaea
Hello Oscar,
How do you describe the taste of cambui ??
I would like to order white chocolate and mexican mangosteen from you, but your seeds are WAY to expensive for me to buy. Is there a way to order just one seed instead of five? I could afford one seed. If not I'd really rather order from trade winds fruit.
do you ship scions to Florida?

Are they sweet or sour .I tasted the fruit but it was sour .Iam looking for the sweet ones. Just planting mango seeds now for budwood. or would you suggest using the maprang seeds.
Hi Oscar, do you ship these maprang scions to CA? I seem to recall that you don't due to species restrictions but not sure.
The price is not on your website . How much for Kai seeds. How long to fruit from seed.
Hello what is the best time of the year to order scion and have the highest take(mangos and boea)? How big are the scions when shipped and generally how many nodes do they have? How is the quality of your loquat cultivars and will you have any other mamey cultivars available in the future?
Thanks
My Dad told me the seeds that arrived look good. Also a couple more questions. Is the rainforest plum scion comparable with any other euginias? Can it be grafted onto Surinam cherries?
Also I originally thought that Myrciaria glazioviana and Plinia edulis were synonyms and have several plants marked with both called yellow jabo. What is the difference between them? I also have another plant labeled Plinia glomerata that is also called yellow jabo and am not sure what species it is, and a couple plants that just say Myrciaria sp yellow jabo. What species can they be grafted onto on to and what are their superior characteristics?
Thanks
Hey Oscar I want to order scions, but I cannot find where to order them on your site. Also, can you order seeds and scions in the same order?
Thanks Oscar. I won't be able to order till the first or so, but I am interested in the engkala, and the ice cream mango. If you have them currently, of course. If you don't, PM me when you do!
Was googling around for durian, and noticed this link: http://www.fruitlovers.com/foreign.html (http://www.fruitlovers.com/foreign.html)
Realized only later it was your site! You stopped shipping plants I also noticed, was it because they require bare-rooting? Or for other paperwork reasons? Just curious if you'll ever start again as I have no skill or room to grow from seed or graft. :( But maybe in the future when I have more space I'll try as I hear your seeds are the best!
I just carted off some of the lychee trunks i cut over a month ago. Lo and behold one of the trunks just laying on the ground was starting to sprout out, like a giant cutting that hadn't even been stuck in the ground!

Hi Oscar!
Glad to find you here, as there might be a problem to join you by mail.
I have sent you an urgent one!
I did receive my seeds, and they are greatly packed and do look fresh.
But problem with the mayan nut... They are covered with mold, the packet smelled like cheese and 1 nut even had red mold. So I want to know what I can do because I think they will rot if I sow them like this. Abd they were my 1st reason for ordering!
The other seeds look great, and they were discoveries...
Well, thanks for your answer. yes I checked out and they are very soft, so I opened one, as easy as pressing a little between the fingers, and it was totally brown inside. I have opened them all and they are all rotten the same way, which of course is rare in only 10 days. Really all the other ones I bought from you are great, only this packet, so it is not possible that there was not a problem before, that you just did not see it.
Well I will put some pics so you can see, I really think that this color and the mold in the chore of the nut was more than 10 days old.
Well if too hot let's wait then, so it will be from this summer harvest. Anyway, some seeds were not available and I will get another packet from you later.
About the mails I had sent, did you receive them?
I asked you about the origin of the seeds, if they are from trees of yours in Hawai or elsewhere. The Maya bread nut especially is quite versatile according to its origin and that would be helpful to know the soil and climate of the "parents". Thanks
Hello Oscar,
Which one do you think is better JACANA or ROSS SAPOTE (Flavor, Disease resistance & growth rate) ??
Do you still have Eugenia luschnathiana seeds in stock ??
Thanks for clarifying Oscar.
One more question, Do you still have any of these in stock (Garcinia dulcis , Garcinia livingstoneii & Ross Sapote) ?
When will you have Sapote de mico again? It seems somewhat enigmatic on the web, along with the candle tree and Bornean hairy banana, so I hope to popularize them (perhaps giving the calling the Bornean hairy banana just seedless banana😉), and get them known enough that when I mention them to sombody, they won't stare at me in confusion, or tell me not to make stuff up like that. 😮
Seems the crop either failed this year or is way late. So it might be quite a while before have them again.
Seems the crop either failed this year or is way late. So it might be quite a while before have them again.
I am in no hurry! If I buy them now, will I get them next time they are in stock, or will the transaction fail?
i am interested in
jacana,mafai,rambai and imbe seeds
mailed to an address @ florida.
alright cool...i see there's alupag?
i am unsure what to use the us or non us option (since the seeds are mailed to usa)

He says that the seeds were from Ecuador (possibly from Jim West). You probably know both. It seems that they communicate mainly with old friends. Please advise how to get those seeds!
Oscar, thanks!
Jim replied to my letter!
I just bought you Rubus niveus and Annona spraguei. If not a secret, you bought it from Carlos?
I can't contact him...
Oscar,
In October-December fruiting Duguetia furfuracea, - the most edible from this Genus. You will be selling these seeds?
I think it will sell well.
As well as Annona purpurea (Soncoya), Annona crassiflora (Marolo), Annona coriacea (Marolo-Liso) that all ripen in the spring-summer. Or do you avoid difficult germinated seeds? :)
Why do you not sell red malay apple seeds anymore? Did your plants die?
Hello Oscar,

Hello Oscar,
What is you favorite fruit from Pouteria ?
Pouteria is a large genus with lots of species. I've only had a very few, but of the ones i've had i'd say my favorite is moist type of lucuma. I also like the Ross sapote and the Phillipine pointed canistel.

Yes marang and ross sapote MAY be available around same time. Every year is different so difficult to predict with any certainty. Best is to order now, that puts you on waiting list. Many of these seeds sell out, so sooner you order the better your chances. Then i send them as they become available to first people on the list.
Oscar,
What variates of Abiu do you have ?
My abiu seeds have started sprouting. French peanut has been growing well...all about 5-6 inches now. Have a lemon drop mangosteen also doing well .

Hi Oscar,
Hey, how far are you from Hilo? My mom wants to go to Hawaii for her 80th birthday and we are looking at an island-hopper cruise that stops in Hilo. Thought we could come to the nursery and buy a squillion plants and seeds.
No customs, so I figure I can get them back to Idaho(and my tropical greenhouse...) easily, as long as I can fit them in my carryon for the plane ride back home.
Thanks!
Carolyn
Oscar, I believe I'm having difficulty sending you pm's if not I apologize. Do you have seeds of Mexican garcinia available? I'm also looking for seashore mangosteen, I remember reading you had a similar species possibly available soon. Also I doubt you still do but, looking for abiu seeds as well. Thank you for your time.
P.s I apologize, for the previous inquires with out order, was in a less than comfortable financial position last year, no longer the case.
When does your cheena or cempejak fruit and is it currently fruiting ? Is it a graft ? If so where from ?
Oscar, anything else new coming soon? or something old that I'd be interested in? like cambuca?Do have cambuca seeds right now. Another new one not yet added is Yerba mate seeds (Ilex paraguayensis). The other ones recently added are:
How long can scions survive shipping??Totally depends on type of plant?

Oscar,Those seeds are from seedling tree. Original seeds were given to me by a neighbor who told me that where he collected them, Santa Barbara, California, they produced fruits the size of softball, so extra large. But my tree produced regular sized fruits.
Do you know the name of your white sapote cultivar ?. What other cultivars do you have ?.
My very nice seedling Pouteria torta subsp. gallifructa , seeds from fruitlovers.com, thanks Oscar !Thanks for posting. Glad you were able to get them growing. BTW have plenty more seeds right now for short time if anyone else is interested?

Hi Oscar,
I bought Green sapote seeds from you and I'm wondering, how many varities of green sapote do you have ?.
Oscar, how long ago did you move to where you are now, in Hawaii? You speak of some of your trees being quite large. Were any planted on the property when you bought it?
Hey Oscar...you moved to Hawaii the same year I purchased my property.Hi Harry, yes there was a previous thread about this. I'm not at all affected so far, except that some nights there is smoke in the air from the forest burning. I don't know why Mike told you that? His access to town is not at all affected. His property is just a couple miles from me. But he doesn't live here full time. So maybe he is confused about what actually occured? The news has blown this totally out of proportion....as is usual for the media. Either that or you misunderstood him? The lava has not cut any roads, except for a very small country road going to transfer dump station, and county set up dump somewhere else. There is a danger the lava could in the future cut the main road access to this area, but for last 3 weeks the flow is completely stalled and has not advanced. The government has opened up alternate detour roads already, just in case main highway is closed in future.
I am not sure you posted anywhere else, but is the current lava flow heading towards Pahoa affecting or threatening you and your property? I had an e-mail from Alaska Mike advising that their access to town was cut off but otherwise they were unaffected so far other than poor air quality. What's your situation?
Hi Oscar,
I bought Green sapote seeds from you and I'm wondering, how many varities of green sapote do you have ?.
I have the variety Makawao, and a couple of seedling trees.
Hi Oscar,If you look at the post about visit to Jim West's place you will see that there i posted some information and a photo of this fruit i am calling chicle: http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=12783.msg162879#msg162879 (http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=12783.msg162879#msg162879)
There is one fruit on you list that has no info on it anywhere, Google or this forum. Lacmellea oblongata. Can you tell us something about it?
Also how do you ship rambutan scions. Are they in cuttings form, bud patch? Can they still be viable after one week of travel?

The rambutan scions are shipped as cutting, just like all other scions, sent in moistened vermiculite inside tightly wrapped zip lock bag. I've sent some rambutans and longans to Brazil that took close to a month and were still took.
I think you misunderstood. These cuttings are for use for grafting, not for rooting.What is the best way to root the cuttings of longan and rambutan?Hi Oscar,If you look at the post about visit to Jim West's place you will see that there i posted some information and a photo of this fruit i am calling chicle: http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=12783.msg162879#msg162879 (http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=12783.msg162879#msg162879)

Oscar: I'd like to order those Lemba seeds, but can't much on the plant aside from the curculin. Can you tell me more about the plant? It seems like a palm. :)There was a thread about it before on the forum, and i posted a photo and some info. Plant is nothing like a palm, looks more like a ginger plant. If you have any specific questions i'll try to answer?
Oscar,I don't know how long the lemba seeds remain viable for. They look like they would last long time if kept dry and cool. I would go for starting them on top of warming mat SAP. Maybe keep a few seeds in fridge as backups to try to start later if first batch don't germinate.
Do you know how long the Lemba seeds remain viable for?
I ordered some from someone else and so far none of them have germinated. I planted them indoors in a pot. The weather where I live isn't very warm this time of year even though I am in Florida.
I am going to plant my remaining seeds in some pots this summer when the temperatures are very hot. When the daily highs are above 90 degrees F.
I think I might be having the same issue with Borojoa seeds.
I have read they will remain dormant if the soil temperature isn't warm.
I also plan to put them outside when its warmer. They are inside some plastic baggies with spaghnum moss. ( the kind that is anti- damping off)
Hi, Tried to check your website, but it says page does not exist. Do you have a list of seeds you can mail to Oahu? Thanks in advance!

Hi Oscar,
About Mammea americana, How many variety do you have ?. If my memory serves me well,I think you said you have two varieties, correct ?. And Do I need more than one tree in order to fruit Mamey apple ?.
These tropical apricot are giant tree Oscar at Mount Botanical Garden in west Palm, mine is doing well, so what height does the dwarf attain; hope I got the dwarf?Hi Oscar,

Have 2: Waimanalo Dwarf and Fairchild. They can sometimes fruit on their own, but it's much better to have 2 trees as some are trees can turn out just male.

Waimanalo is not truly dwarf, but it does seem smaller than most trees. Mine is about 15 feet tall and over 20 years old.

. Absolutely delicious after a brining process to detox its fart attribute for me but stomache cramps to other from excessive fresh consumption. Some varieties ratio of seed to flesh can be appalling. Better varieties and preferably dwarf should have decent 30% flesh to seed ratio without the stringness. This fruit need to be brought to Asia or the Middle East for better selection and improvement. Unfortunately here in the Americas its potential are greatly misunderstood. I like the apricot tartness that is quite pleasant for fresh eating, making liquor & ice cream in moderation like everything else. The tree is quite hardy and can handle drought better than most of the transplant fruit tree species to Florida. Personally I prefer this tropical apricot to over let us said african peach. Wood are hard and durable for gunstock and does not attract lots of maintenance outside of watering them when young. I think this is a great fruit tree for the arid zone, man the 50 footer at Mount Botanical Garden is a massive oak like tree that throw out an umbrella girth full of shade! I think any of the landolphia lianas would be a perfect candidate for this companion planting. 😃yuup your truly is a dwarf, crab why do I always gave my best stuff to my friends!😭 I am going to have to order it again!

The only fruit that gets a lot of attention is mango. Don't get me wrong, I love mango and there's no doubt that it is a wonderful fruit but, there are many fruits that need to be selected. I highly doubt we will see that day especially in the Mideast.
I love apricot and If I mange to fruit mamey apple in here that will be a real jackpot in my book.
Thanks Coconut

Thanks Adam. I've added a lot of offerings to my seed page lately. It's been really hard to keep up with all the orders, especially now that spring has sprung. Maintaining a website is quite a chore. Often i'm up till very late making changes on that website. Somebody compared building a website to building a house, and its a very good analogy: the work is never finished. Always something needs to be repaired or remodeled or improved. I'd like to add growing information about all the new seed species added, but i just don't have the time right now. Maybe some day.

The HTML code looks pretty straight forward, simple, to the point on your website Oscar. Can be a good thing since, its easier to fix something that broke on it, but a lot of people this day and age like pretty simplistic websites that scale easily on smart phones and tablets. The website does not work on my mobile phone (and most likely tablet).
Have you considered using wordpress or webflow template to make the website? (I know a lot of templates are cookie cutter, though a good portion can be modified adding a good unique look). Advantages would be can add some nice updated graphics, database, and mobile usability to the webpage). I would look into webflow, my friend has a website development and marking company (I believe he recommended webflow to me for diy website template).

Hi Nullzero, thanks for the recommendations. I know my website is not mobile friendly. And i have no plan to make it so in the future. Please if you want to surf it use a laptop or PC. You won't be able to see most of the photos very well on a 2 inch screen anyway. I have too much work as it is, at least for right now. If business goes dead at some point i will consider doing what you say. Right now i'm still a one person company, so there are limitations to how many things i can do.
Thankyou Oscar for adding new stuff, received great package as always, I have finally plant all three garcinia, Cherapu seeds were so fresh I could smell your spit; stop smoking those Cuban stogies, we need you around for a few more volcano eruptions!🌊🗻😆 Your Oscar Giant Camieto seeds have to be the smallest seeds for giant camito or for any camito I mange to fruit over the three decades; hope you are not Dorgonize with this one; I dont think you want to see my reviews in a decade when it fruit!😄😜😝😛
A Giant Top of the line Purple Camieto with small seed is a Holy grail in my book, you should name it Oscar Purple Sapphire Camieto! Maybe I need to have a master grafter graft some budwood in the short term so I can live long enough to write a review
About these luscious delight!😇

The giant purple starapples have smaller seeds than normal sized. The other interesting thing is that most of these giants only have 3 seeds inside. (Normal sized fruit usually have 6-8 seeds.) Maybe i will name them after you, just because you make me laugh! The only type of cigarettes i smoke are those candy types made for kids. HAHA

Oscar do you happen to sell these giant purple starapples to any buyers in Chinatown, Honolulu? I purchased a few baseball sized purple star apples there a few weeks ago that were almost totally purple (just a little green on top) and most of them only had 3 seeds, and one of the fruits only had 1 seed. Very sweet also and not a lot of latex in the peel.
I got the cuttings about ten days ago, wonderful packaging. I would also like to thank you for the gift.
BTW, Do i need to treat annona scleroderma seeds with Gibberellic acid ?.
Thanks again
Oscar,
being that you pretty much know all the stuff I already have...
do you have anything that you'd recommend for me to grow right now?
(either to plant out at my house for fruit, or to plant and resell as small seedlings for my nursery?)
you are really part of the foundation of my nursery...I got a bunch of pivotal plants from you!

Adam, I don't really know everything you have planted. Can just guess from your posts. If you would like to send me a lit off group i'd be glad to look it over. I'm sure you have a lot more knowledge about what sells well in your area, but i'd be glad to give you some suggestions if i can.

Oscar, at this point just have eugenias, annonas, jabos, and garcinias....(mulberries, persimmons, black saps, white saps) campomanesia, loquat, and a few other random species that are somewhat common....
so anything other than these...
I'm basically looking for any suggestions from you....if you can think of anything that can handle about 25F (or close).
good suggestions!
lol i forgot I have several Kwai muk and a lakoocha from you already!
I need to just browse your website! It's been a while!

Basically i think you are already doing all the right things. Just be patient and know it takes a long time to build up a good clientele, just like with most other businesses. Do everything you can to develop your grafting skills. I think that will really help you a lot to succeed. I'm guessing soon you will be so busy you will have to hire employees to help you. Just don't let your work enslave you. Do other things that you enjoy doing, and remember to take days off and even some vacations. A very big threat in this business is total burnout!

I have never seen you taking about annona neosericea. All I know about this species it taste good.
Oscar, what's your opinion about this fruit ?.
Hi Oscar
when is the season of the jackfruits in Hawai? I am interested in the seeds of the Black Gold variety
OscarLongan yes. Rambutan probably, but not for sure.
do you think you you will have the rambutan, longan and Black Gold seeds at the same time available because the rambutan and longan are right now available?

hey Oscar.I wish i could, but i haven't gotten to taste one yet.
Sorry, haven't had a chance to place my order for the other seeds, but the other day noticed you put on for sale Raimondia conica. I tried to search the forum, but couldn't find any comments/insight on taste, growth habit, growing conditions etc. Can you comment on your experience and opinion of its taste?
Mahalo!
Can you do a minimum of $100 and mix and match scions as well as seeds?
The Mexican garcinia seeds are only available in March-April. Good news is that i have plenty of seedling plants about 6-8 inches tall for sale. They are $25 each plus s&h.
