Here are my germination successes:
 Monstera deliciosa - Mexican Breadfruit
 Bromelia pinguin - Pinuela 
 Passiflora nitida - Bell Apple
 Inga vulpina - Pink Flowered Inga
 Coffea racemosa - Racemosa Coffee 
 Eugenia reinwardtiana - Cedar Bay Cherry
 Passiflora quadrangularis - Giant Granadilla
 Passiflora incarnata - Maypop
 Lansium domesticum - Langsat
 Syzygium oleosum - Blue Lilly Pilly 
 Garcinia xanthochymus - Gamboge
 Carica pubescens - Mountain Papaya
 Carica papaya - Waimanalo Dwarf Papaya
 Physalis peruviana - Poha
 Garcinia intermedia - Lemon Mangosteen
 Garcinia hombroniana - Seashore Mangosteen
 Artocarpus lingnanensis - Kwai Muk
 Muntingia calabura - Strawberry Tree
 Annona purpurea - Soncoya
 Dinosaur Kale
 Inga sp. - Ice Cream Bean
 Eugenia selloi - Pitangatuba
 Passiflora tripartita mollissima - Banana Passion Fruit
 Annona squamosa - Sugar Apple
 Rollinia deliciosa - Biriba
 Annona reticulata - Custard Apple

I generally get good germination with seeds that were recently posted on the site. But I have to constantly check to see whats new, or wait for their email newsletter.
Seeds I wouldn't bother with from Tradewinds/ hit-or-miss: Passiflora (only germ. in the ones mentioned above), Annona (little germ.), Guava (no germ.), Alpine Strawberry (no germ.), bilimbi, Baccaurea ramilflora, Phalsa, and, Bay Rum.
Hope this helps!
. Out of curiosity have tried the fruit of any of the plants you listed?  And are they worth the effort to grow?

I currently have a very small Ichang lemon tree growing.  If possible I would not mind exchanging seeds

Thanks Serg. I looked at the list of greenplantfarm but wasn't sure if they were all good for chewing. Thanks for the information. I look forward to to trying it. Greg

I wanting to try growing a chewing variety of sugarcane but I cannot find a clear list of which varieties are best for each use.  Then I would like to purchase a good chewing variety because this thread is very interesting.

Hi John
It is easier to identify the fig variety with a picture of the ripe fruit.  Do you have any images to share

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Arctic Frost Satsuma experience

I recently took a patio citrus at the Fort Worth botanical garden. There is a lemon which will grow here without protection. It is the Ichang lemon.   The classes instructor had an ichang growing in his yard unprotected for years.   They are hard to find though.
