Interested, I am out now. Please keep 10 seeds aside for me.

I have the opposite experience with my clover.It grows on concrete and over compacted gravel that has a little clay soil in it .
I never water it and its verry green and luxuriant in the middle of the summer when the geass dies because of the lack of water.So i think its drought resistant.
Last summer we had 4 months without rain and it did great,i had to mow it.
Honza, for now, officials will admonish, not punish, but situations probably will change. Maybe it won't be that bad. I think it might be another dead recipe in some sense. It is hard to imagine that they will open any private packages with plants and check documents However, with larger and regular sales, it is worth considering to comply with regulations.
They even pick out locations and have a name sheet. (for example, who visited Mexico).Woa, that's a new level of stalking.
So we are not able to send plants in our country anymore (officially). We have to have a permission or the plant can be confiscated and there is also a chance to pay penalty 2000 CZK (80€ +-). And It's same for international shipping. What about Slovakia? Are there simmilar rules Polux? It's new and It's a huge complication for growers, small e-shops....Do you mean even within your country it is forbidden?
Unfortunately it's not possible to send abroad. I had to suspend activity again.Again?!
Rollinias are the most sensitive plant I’ve grown to soil PH. They like very acidic conditions. They dislike the calcium carbonate infused water that you find in a typical Florida water and will start to develop black spots on the bark, drop leafs and wither away. I lost 90 trees because of my Florida water. I dump a thick layer of raw donkey/mule manure about 10” deep. This creates acidic conditions and the trees will recover but i don’t water them again. Just keep them deeply mulched.Ooooh, that explain why I never managed to keep one alive....
I would request skhan as OP to remove Artocarpus hypargyraeus from topic title, since that is incorrect. Artocarpus is about to undergo a major shakeup thanks to phylogenomic work recently done. A paper dealing with proposed new binomials will be published in January or February. At any rate, both by current systematics and the provisional new one A. hypargyraeus is incorrect, since that has long peduncles and is not in cultivation.
What is in cultivation is indeed the real kwai muk (better pinyin would be 'gwaimuk'), but the associated binomial has almost always been mistaken. Its current ID is A. nitidus subsp. lingnanensis, but will probably become A. parvus.
Same here. I thought it wasn't growing because they were stressed out by cold but seem not much different in a hotter climate.Not exactly sure how I let these seeds slip by my radar. Anyone growing this in Florida? I was able to source two seedlings. Any growing tips, cold tolerance? Sounds delicious.
I've had one in ground since early 2016. It was a bit over two feet tall when I got it, and after an impressive initial growth spurt it's grown less than six inches in the nearly four years since then. So at around 3 feet tall, I expect my grandchildren (as yet unborn) may get to see fruit from it.
As far as growing tips go... so far it has never gotten cold enough here in Broward to assess its tolerance for cold, and it has minimal needs for water. I fertilize twice yearly and I have enviably decent sandy / loamy soil for south Florida so I can't comment on how well it does in sand or shell rocky type soils.
I've read they fruit fast... 6 years? I wish. If it were true, mine had better get going as it's likely well over 6 years old already :-)
Seeds added : Caryocar glabrum and Curatella americana
Hi,What varieties and price?
I have some tissue cultured available.
Hello, this and the following year i will plant a small part of my garden (south facing and wind protected slope) with subtropical trees with no protection in the winter (only the first year) the minimum temp last winter which was a cold one was for 2 days night temp of 26°F and daytime 34°F all the other usual winter days temps stay above 45°F.I'm in a similar climate so, you can add:
So far my list considers of
Pummelo (already planted 3 different unknown varieties)
Strawberry guava (already planted)
Various bananas
guabiju
lemon guava
puteria lucuma la molina
white sapote (Mcdill)
white sapote (Dade)
wooly leafed sapote ( Casimiroa Tetrameria)
If anyone here thinks of anything else that can survive or thinks that anything of this list isnt able to survive please sent.
PS my soil is kind of Alkaline with pH 7-7.5 and not so rich in nutrients (for the bananas i have found a special ideal place)
Avocado (any)
Jaboticaba
Passed one winter and then died the next, you may be luckier:
Jackfruit black gold
Pitangatuba
Passiflora edulis x colvilli, should be doable with little protection.
Litchi Mauritius planted this spring but we had winter temps and it survived.
Some friend had Black sapote passing the winter with no problem , then suddenly dying of no reason in spring, probably root issue.
If you have soil issue, I would recommend making a big hole and amend it, it's going to be expensive but will be worth it.
My first avocados where planted this way and are growing super fast, the other were planted in clay with no amendment and it did 2 leaves the whole summer...
Thats really good to hear that avocados can grow in similar climate. Do you know the varieties of your avocado trees? Do i have to find mexican ones or can even commercial have success?

I would consider cutting a 2 liter bottle's bottom out and cover a seedling and create a humidity dome.Yellow and red Muntingia calabura. Seeds from achetadomestica. Fruits were packed in wet vermiculite. At arrival on my place, the pulp, seeds and vermiculite were a somehow slimy mass. This mass was spread evenly on top of seeding trays, filled with peat. The seeding trays were well watered, bagged and put on a warm place with indirect sunlight. After a week, the trays were taken out of the bag and put in full sun, for 4 days. The peat was kept wet and watered twice a day. Thereafter, the trays were taken out of the sun and bagged again. Seeds germinated a few days later.How long to reach that stage?
After taken this picture, I have potted 50 seedlings. For me, that’s more than enough. However, with colder temperatures in autumn and winter, a high mortality may be expected.
Mike, thank you for the seeds. I appreciate very much, your help and your advice.
Mine from last year never passed 1mm, some are still alive but same height.
The batch from this year slightly better, around 2mm(only a few) in 2 months ....
In case I can't get even this batch to grow, would you sell me a yellow muntingia seedling next year?
Keep the soil moist and the 2 liter bottle should have water dripping inside. I know some people in CA
that have the same difficulty with Muntingia. I think it is a humidity issue?
Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I saw some picture that seemed really small, but couldn't find any real data.They are one third in volume of the macadamia nuts and taste is a lot better than the taste of macadamia .They are sweeter and have a coconut like flavour similar to apricot seeds but a lot sweeter.The downsides of these nuts is that the shell its too soft to be cracked and also if you roast them ,then the sugars turn the nuts brown while the macadamias stay white.I had found somebody willing to ship some seeds but didn't hear from him since a long time.Hi,I got these from a friend after spending a year searching them.Before that ive ordered a few packs of seeds from USA ( from ebay) and none of those germinated ,so beware if your gonna spend a lot of monney on them.Make sure they are fresh.
Can I know where you bought Gevuina Avellana seeds?
How big is the nut? Have you tasted any?
