Did you ask Maryoto? I bought some from him a while back. They were with good germination too.

I bought from Beni last year through EMS   took only 6 days to  arrive, and seeds   arrive root with white mold, he  resend again for free just me paying the  EMS again, same results  death seeds
With white mold, when I inform him  the same thing happened his answer was "sorry I always  fail with Matoa" hopefully you have better luck, I'm also in the market from Matoa....

They are one of the most difficult species to send the seeds of as they are so prone to spoiling. I wonder how many people had seeds of them survive from me. I did send black, green, yellow and red types around of the best types. The eye popping giant Fiji longan which I posted pix of before doesn't have as crispy a shell. It is one of the white whales in my area I am yet to bag as the failed wet season meant the tree didn't fruit early this year like it should have.

Mike, you should seriously consider opening an online store for tropical plants seeds.

Thanks

I find that very interesting. I had 100% germination on my pometia pinnata from Maryoto, and I ordered them in the dead of winter to Maryland. I better take extra special care to get them to grow. :)

hHave a look at some of the pix I posted on the forum and you will see I have selected the thick fleshed types to send seeds away from. These typically have smaller seeds that don't travel as well.I think I'm not too bad at packing seeds to maximise their life in the post.
