It may get a bit too cold for you. They do not like wind or dry conditions.
Also prolonged temps at 40-45f will make them drop the leaves.
If you are willing to protect in the winter, it should be doable!

Mafai are typically the thai ones but they come in a variety of forms and fruit colours. Some look a lot like rambai even but the purple seeds give their identity away. There are a few 50 footers on my street in a bit of regrowth by the road. They sure have heavy crops. Speaking of big trees santols get get very large indeed.

The santol tasted pretty sour lol.
I hear there are sweet ones out there.
What's your experience?

Add santol seeds.!

One last set of 10 seeds available!
Thanks!

Good to hear guineese is good.
 I think I have like 3 varieties of this I got from David!
Still small seedlings though

I got those same 3 hahaha

Let's go!!!
Race you to fruit?

I have some cool baccurrea ramiflora seeds...also known as mafai.
It tastes like star fruit!!
$4 a seed
buy 5 or more $3.5 a seed
10+ = $3 a seed.

Santol seed
$5 each
buy 10 for $40

Sweet and sour.
More sour though.
Pretty cool fruit.

I see a lot of ebay sellers wanting $$$ for seeds....where did you get yours? Hows the growth pattern?

Growth pattern is stable like any other mango. Pretty easy to grow. Can't take freezes. I've killed on before
I don't know of anyone selling any right now. Got it in a trade.

I just got...
nvm

I don't think there is a 100% way to tell male or female imbe or Spanish lime for that matter.
If there is, please show me! I think a good way is just finding out the parentage for better % of self pollinating ones.

I think the patent is up. So you could sell.

That's cool to hear!

There is a spineless salak...
But salaks get very big and they are tough to grow (considering you are trying to grow inside).
I have a nice sized one, and if I can keep it alive, I'll go get some more.
Even with my greenhouse, it's gonna be a push.

They can be both...male, female, and hermaphroditic.
Also, just cause it's a male tree it can throw a few complete flowers and set a few fruit...likewise for female.
It's very confusing and that goes for basically all garcinias in question.

I can't give a certain price right now, you can send me a pm if you like!
Just cause I don't know how many I'll keep and how many will grow out.

I keep mine in my garage and it works well...I have found out that even leaving it out in the sun for a day or so really wrecks it.
If that happens, just peel off the next few feet of wrap and then you're good.
I feel like a year is a good start. But it's relatively inexpensive I'll buy a new one each year.
Now with buddy tape it's more expensive so I'll guard it with my life lol.
I have a brand new roll just sitting in my house for fear I'll leave it outside on accident
