so now that the Californian order from the Chinese nursery (
http://www.fruit-trees-nursery.com/) arrived with about half the trees in good shape, i would like to try and put together a new order from them for delivery to Harry's place in Florida. Each individual buyer would be responsible for picking up their trees from Harry's place and Harry would not be able to provide any care and attention to the trees beyond allowing a place for them to be parked in his yard.
The nursery sells several varieties of yumberry, lychee (including a supposedly seedless lychee), jackfruit, longan, dragon fruit etc. I am not sure what his minimum order is or what is price per tree- that I imagine will depend on how many trees we order. I believe on the last order for Yumberries, they paid under $20 a tree. When I tentativly reached out to him, he had mentioned that we may have to stick to two varieties of tree, so I suggest you start with yumberry and lychees and then add any other trees you want with the understanding that if there is not a large enough request for those trees, we may be limited to lychee and yumberry.
I am willing to put the order together. Please post here what trees you would like and what quanity, if you would like to be part of the order. I suggest that you order two of any tree so that if one tree arrives in bad condition, you have a back up.
I will be ordering yumberries and his seedless lycee.
I will give everyone a week (to till next Friday, March 9th) to place their tentative order, at which time I will contact the nursery and ask him if he can fulfill our order and what the cost per tree is.
