The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hi, in Russia, this has long been used for year-round greenhouses. Definitely choose option B. It is important to choose the right place and do good waterproofing. I saw flooded greenhouses in the spring and autumn,it looked deplorable.

Do you happen to have V. weberbaueri?

I bought in Trade Winds seeds, but they haven't sprouted yet, I'm still waiting.

Hi Giannhs. In Russia, many gardeners grew Cassabanana, everyone believed the descriptions from the Internet that it was delicious, but in fact it turned out to be mediocre. I think everything will work out in your climate. We do this in greenhouses in USDA zone 4-5 and get the fruits. But it's really not worth the effort, it's my opinion,I wasted my time growing Cassabanana.

I bought from Brian Laufer @ https://queenoftheamazon.squarespace.com

He has some mountain papaya cross as well.

Excellent germination on all the seeds I bought this year.. However be forewarned that the seeds may not be labelled, I had to guess which seeds were what

Yes, I've seen this site before,it has Vasconcellea pubescens x palandensis hybrid seeds, it's definitely interesting. Other types that he sells I already have in the collection.

The plants you mentioned will be quite a challenge in Riussia.

Hi Carolyn! I agree with you, this is a serious challenge, but some gardeners in Russia managed to get the fruits from cocoa and papaya. Today I am trying to find different information about the content,and while I do not have certain questions, it is interesting to read everything about these plants.

Hi. I was looking for information about this species, the Internet in various articles says that it is Carica stipulata. Is this correct or a mistake? Is it possible to send seeds to Russia?

Oh, I see... Sow that might be what makes the difference. As long as it is not a large package, I suppose this can go under their radar undetected.

In this way, I sent nuts,chestnuts and seeds of other fruit trees and shrubs in one package,everything went well. The German customs are very strict, but each time they missed the parcels to their country.

Hi, I'm growing it in Russia for the second year. Last summer there was a plentiful flowering, but there were no fruits. I found information that the fruits are only in the second year. In the winter it was in my house,now it is growing again in the greenhouse,I am waiting for the fruits this summer.

They made a Paypal refund, so the issue is resolved.

Any avocado can produce in a pot.  The question is how big of a pot and how much fruit will you get.  And how easy will it be to keep the tree happy in a pot for the long term.

What do you think is the best size for an avocado pot? I have a lot of 40-liter pots in which I grow dragonfruit and monstera.

Russia is a more cold country than Europe, but many of us grow avocados from seed,but this is only as a houseplant. Sometimes it blooms, but no one ever talked about the fruit.

Today they got in touch and we may have settled all the misunderstandings. The situation is just idiotic, I think this has never happened to anyone. As I said earlier, the first parcel was lost in the Netherlands, the second parcel arrived with someone else's goods, when they returned the money, they made a mistake with the address and sent the money to another person. Who else has had this?  I believed them,they gave me proof of their words and promised to return the money tomorrow if I close the dispute PayPal. I decided to take a risk and canceled the claim.

Hi guys. On March 11th I bought Seeds Del Mundo Theobroma Grandiflora Seeds, Theobroma cacao Big Fruit Pot, Myrciaria Vexator Whole Fruit and he sent them to me pretty quickly, but the package never left the Netherlands. I informed Seeds Del Mundo about this on April 12th, he told me to refund or resend. I agreed to re-send and they quickly did everything again. On April 23rd, I received the package and found that it contained something completely different and all the seeds were dead. After checking the invoice, I realized that the product was intended for another buyer. I informed Seeds Del Mundo about this, they offered compensation only for the item, no refund of shipping costs. I agreed and Seeds Del Mundo said that I had already returned the money. I checked my PayPal account and there is nothing there.  I again wrote a letter to Seeds Del Mundo but received no response. Today I was already angry, and therefore I opened a dispute on PayPal about the return of the full amount, including the amount of postal services. Am I doing the right thing?
