Years ago, I read a study about seeds and seedlings social behavior. After experiments and  observations, authors stated, that there is some social behaviour, for example it looked like bunch of seedlings in one hole were able "recognize" their "siblings", so if the seeds come from the same fruit, there was no "infighting", but if the seeds were from different fruits/plants, they tried to overgrow each other and also roots "fought" for space.

I am looking for some Saba senegalensis ( called Madd in Senegal, called  Kabaa in Gambia) seeds.

If you have some for sale - let me know.

Fruit tasting Heavenly in Gambia

I do not want to mess this thread to much with my question, but fruits on Viveroanones page http://www.viveroanones.com/VAWEBSITE/Rheedia%20laterifolia%20-%20bacuripari%20July%2007%20003.jpg
looks identical to pictures of achachairu liso from Bolivia.

632
I am asking, because I have plants from seeds from www.viveroanones.com sold under name
bacuripari / achachairú    Rheedia laterifolia
So, what do I really have?

I am a bit lost in this garcinia taxonomy
some says:

1. Rheedia brasiliensis aka  Rheedia laterifolia aka Garcinia laterifolia
local name: Bakupari, Camboriu

2. Rheedia laterifolia aka Garcinia humilis aka Garcinia laterifolia
local name: Achachairu

Is it all the same plant?

I only know that years ago there was separate Rheedia - means garcinias of South America and they are now back under garcinia, But is Garcinia brasiliensis, Garcinia laterifolia and Garcinia humilis the same plant?

According to http://research.trf.or.th/node/3304
...‘Plug (Pluk?) Mai Lai’ was the most popular cultivar for ripe fruit production and marketing whereas ‘Khag Dum’ and ‘Khag Nuan’ were the most popular cultivars for green fruit production and marketing in
Kanchanaburi and Suphanburi,...

Nice grow op. Do they do supplimental light in the winter like we do up here?
I do not know, but I checked all available pictures on the net and I see no light source there, so most likely not.
I  only know, that one greenhouse is on the area of 15 000 square meters, there are 52 000 plants and constant temperature 21 Celsius during winter no matter how strong is frost outdoor.

Indeed, if a proposed geothermal greenhouse expansion project up here goes through, Iceland will export about 6 times more tomatoes than it consumes    ;) And tomatoes have to be at least as cold-sensitive and light-needy as durian. And our greenhouses get a whopping 42 kilograms yield per square meter of production. ...

Because of decline of coal mining, the owner of mine built up those greenhouses heated by geothermal water coming from mine area, to give the job and income for some miners, or members of their families. Nice pictures here:

I think, that growing plants outside their natural range is only economical issue, not technical, nor weather problem.
Theoretically you can simulate any weather or soil conditions, but as I said before, it is question of the budget.
In Iceland you can use thermal water to heat the greenhouse  :)
In my country, there are some huge commercial greenhouses heated by geothermal energy - hot springs, they grow tomatoes year round there using hydroponic growing.

One has to read between the lines. If the seller writte :
"flesh ranges in taste from sourish to quite sweet. ... It is widely used in the local salad dishes and also used in pickles..." like in description of Lamantan
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mangifera-Torquenda-Lamantan-1-fresh-seeds-RARE-/261363500524?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item3cda7a85ec
For me it means, that fruit is in fact sour and not suitable to eat out of hand   :D
And about the fruits and plants at all, I used to  made some search for info on the net, before I decided to buy it.

.... I guess the scions will not survive the long trip ...

According to my experience, pomegranate cuttings can easy survive 7 or 10 days on the way in plastic bag with a piece of wet paper towel. For propagation are ideal semihard cuttings taken on the time of  winter dormancy.

I bought Mangifera Caesia seed from "eyesha" ebay seller few years ago, she was a great seller of tropical fruit seeds from Malaysia, but no longer active on ebay.
I lost this beautiful plant  after one winter, when I  watered it to much.

Yes, T-bud technique needs flexible bark, but cleft grafting not.

Yes,  you are right, the wound will heal and you'll get active growth when it comes out of dormancy.
I grafted 5 citrus seedlings two weeks ago (we have winter here now) and 4 of them joined cambium layers  successfully, and 2 of them already push new leafs.

According to my experiences in case of cleft grafting, contrary to T-budding it doesn't matter, if there is a growing season or not.

Do they really ban grafting citrus trees? Sounds unreal to me.
And yes, technically you can use cleft grafting whole year.
