I have faith you! I also tutor college bio and a few other sciences if you ever need help just ask.

I also have ordered many seeds of this and never had a sprout

I had 3 out of 150 or so sprout and they lived for a little while. I realized all to I late that I had them growing in the wrong media mix...they died a few months later. Live and learn I guess.

palologrower has some. Quality plants.

Scarify and soak seeds for a few hours in water before sowing.

Should be 80 - 90% germ. Seeds store fairly well for over a year at least.

Awesome! I would be down to get a couple more species from Andre as well if he has anything else new. Customs would have made a note of it if they took them...even if to was for their secret garden. You joke about that, but I have seen 19 year servicemembers throw their retirement away for less. You can retire at 20 years of active service in the military.

I would also be interested in knowing the various altitudes and climates people are growing and fruiting tropical fruit trees at...

Everything arrived quickly and in excellent shape. Thanks for the extras!

Very excited to have started the new year off with these!

Sorry to hear that happened. It still seems really vague and up to interpretation for germinated seeds... I can't help but think that someone somewhere has a really nice confiscated fruit tree garden in the works. Hopefully I'm wrong.

That sweet, sweet USDA pension plan is probably more than enough for these guys to yeet them into the incinerator without even blinking an eye. Not worth keeping compared to a steady job, I'm sure!

Human stupidity and greed wins out more often than you might expect. You give people too much credit if you always expect them to do the right or logical thing.

That is strange indeed. Every recalcitrant seed that anyone on this forum gets from outside the US comes with a medium.

Nice! What do the 2 Eugenia spp. and Plinia nana taste like?

Fruits look great! I plan to order some in the future. Great prices for some really rare fresh fruits.

One box vs. a (+/-) 1,500 dollar ticket to somewhere like Malaysia, or just travelling anywhere right now to "have your fill" seems an absurd notion to me. As if you could ever have enough of your favorite fruit in a week to last years. Maybe some people have Bezos money and can catch a flight whenever they have a hankering for a snack. I'll stick with the box, but don't let me stand in your runway.

Just wanted to give a quick update.
Just had the first final and I feel great about it. Thanks for the support!
Anyway,
The main reason is to update you guys that seller will ship no later than next Wednesday. I expect the seeds to arrive in about 2 weeks (around a week and a half from Brazil then another couple of days to me). So the seeds will arrive around Christmas? Not a good time still trying to figure out what is best. USPS is already screwing up my packages. Little worried about the seeds taking more time when I ship to you.

Well done! I'm sure you did great.

Everything arrived clean and germinating last time from André, though it did take twice as long due to mail issues at the time. However, end result was great! Everything is still alive and he was really cool to work with. Thanks for getting this going Ryan!

Cheers,
