WTB: Inga spectabilis (Ice Cream Bean) pods or seeds.
« on: March 06, 2018, 11:28:26 AM »
Looking to do another big grow of these and to spread them amongst the members of my local gardening group.

Big bonus if they're still in fresh pods, but the seeds alone will be fine too.

Thanks!

I received some from Tradewinds that were in great shape. However, they have a seasonal availability. Raul or Guilherme might be able to get some sooner.

I generally see them available in summer.
The viability of Ingas tends to be very short. Often times, they sprout in transit. I don’t know how that would work out for importing the seeds, since germinated seeds count as live plants. I guess you’d also need a phytosanitary certificate.
