Nutmeg - Looking for sources
« on: October 19, 2019, 10:09:30 PM »
Not specficially a fruit rather a spice, but it's a tropical plant and i'm very keen on getting my hands on a pair of them.

Any clues on a US source? I ordered some from a dimwitted grower from India through E-Bay that did not pack them correctly, so they dried out and died by the time they arrived on my door, most of the damange done was while stuck in customs/transit.

Try the buy/sell board.
Calling someone dimwitted when you ordered seeds from India , off Ebay, that failed is pretty funny.

Trying the only means available of attaining something that is otherwise unobtainable after doing a lot of searching is the exact opposite of that.
Receiving a product that is painfully apparent it was packed wrong is what it is. If it had it would have easily arrived in an adequate time frame.

I have plants from various places that shouldn't be here let alone be alive and yet somehow they are, so a person must use whatever means are available when it presents itself it the desire is there.

People skipping customs is why we have all these bugs eating our plants... the nasty ones that shouldn't be here.
