Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: ISO of Puerto Rico rare fruit vendor

Does Panoramic have a storefront or how do you reach them?
I was staying in Mayaguez , I called and left messages and never heard back from them.
They can be hard to get a hold of. Call during the weekday and in the morning - that is when we’ve had the best luck.  If you speak Spanish, you can call Jose (787) 514-6749. He’s the head guy there.
There isn’t a storefront that I am aware of; you have to drive up the mountain to the farm, which doesn’t have a sign.  But it’s at km 13.6 on PR105.

Panoramic fruit company in Mayaguez sells mangosteen, durian, longan, langsat, rambutan and pulasan. They may have others as well, you can call and ask. Although I think the season is over for most of these now.

Jardines Eneida is the tropical fruit nursery in Cabo Rojo. They used to sell fruit as well, but I’m not sure they still do.

My seeds were confiscated and destroyed by customs. 160$ and the loss of rare genetics. Nothing I can do about it. Hopefully everyone else had better luck.
In the US, you can get a “small lot seed import permit” here:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/permits/plants-and-plant-products-permits/plants-for-planting
It’s free; you fill out the form with the countries you want to import from and “eligible taxa” for the species. I faxed it in and got the permit, labels and instructions for use emailed to me in about two weeks. I haven’t had anything confiscated using this, and the addition inspection didn’t seem to add much delay to the shipping. Might help, especially for the more expensive orders.
