Crazy prices. $135 for a Cempedak, $150 for a marang. A pedalai is not worth $75. I ate these fruits for a dollar or less in Borneo and the Philippines.

One could also stay in a 5 star hotel for $45, or eat a huge meal out for $5 in those countries compared to $300 or $100 here in the USA, but you don't go around claiming that now do you? Not comparable.

I understand his complaint, it’s valid, anything more than a few dollars for a fruit seemed crazy to me before.

But if I was selling these fruits for what people wanted and made no money to support myself, no one would help me off the streets either.

I would recommend anyone to go to these areas or grow these fruits out instead of buying them from me unless you’re looking to try a fruit straight to your door you normally wouldn’t get

Had multiple people purchase 20+ marang and Pedalai so far. It includes express shipping. That’s half or more of the price. I would sell for much cheaper if I could.

all the best ....danny
yes I got a few mature fruiting trees, seeds are for pre order ATM for anyone interested. will confirm availability in next 2-3 weeks.

Puerto Rico food forest is run by a reliable forum member here, sometime he is slow to ship though
really appreciate the feedback, I have a lot more help now so things will definitely go faster especially with harvesting everything, prior it was just me doing it.

Syntata, Yes that's it.
Mike, the tree is very big, you should read the whole link, you will check it ... I also want to tell you that 2 months after he sent the seeds, a category 5 cyclone swept the island,  I don't know if that only tree survived.
I now own that property the tree was grown on. today I found at least 15 different medium to large sized garcinia trees(not including purple mangosteen), with thousands of seedlings underneath them. only one tree I was able to identify as achachairu since it had 2 fruits. I need to clear around the trees since they are all shaded from weed trees and that should help them start flowering and fruiting again and I can identify them.

Hello!

I ordered some Herrania Sp fruit about a week ago. Are the trees fruiting now? I wanted to make sure that my order wasn't forgotten about because I haven't gotten the shipping confirmation yet. Thank you so much for offering these cool fruits. How long does it usually take to ship out the fruit, I do plan on getting some theobroma too when they come out on the store?

Thanks,
-Jake
In general when I list fruits I will only list fruits that there are fruits I can harvest currently and ship immediately(elephant apple) or something like the herrania where theres a bunch of unripe fruits that will mature in about a week or two then I list those too.

What to expect 100% over the next couple months:
theobroma sp.
herrania sp.
artocarpus sp(jackfruit for sure)
Mango(maybe other species)
Citrus
White Sapote
Garcinia sp.
Monstera Deliciosa
and much much more.

May add pre order options for some. Elephant apple is extremely abundant.

adding more scions and adding more photos/descriptions to each listing on website with a better idea of scion/cutting size you would receive, might try to add a option for custom or multi choice options for trees easy to harvest from. doing this tomorrow.

How much are your mangosteen cuttings?
the pricings on the website

Thanks. So it’s $75 dollars for only 3 scions? Am I reading that right? If so, why so much?
it's 5 scions and includes free priority shipping

My bad! Sorry about that. Thanks for the clarification!
The scions are from a 20-40 year old fruiting tree so I think the price is pretty fair especially since it includes free shipping. Only US state these would be semi readily available in is Hawaii as far as I know. Also I don't wanna cut a bunch of branches off for too cheap since its so slow growing.
also anyone who signs up can get a discount code for first purchase
