The Tropical Fruit Forum

AFAIK Maclura tricuspidata is synonymous with Cudrania tricuspidata (“che”).  Is that what you’re looking for?  Or are you looking for something else?  Trade Wind Fruit has Cudrania tricuspidata seeds.

In California you need fishing license to take reptiles O_O

I have a ton of western fence lizards in my backyard - those are native (and awesome to watch).  That, and an occasional alligator lizard.  I've rescued lizards in the past, they're easy to rehabilitate (and release, if they're native).  No invasive reptiles here so far, but it's probably a question of time.

Iguanas are herbivores (eat & damage plants).  Ameivas are predators (eat insects, spiders, small rodents, etc.) so they may actually be doing more good than harm.  How bad is their digging habit?   Can you set up a place (a log or some cover) for them to burrow under, so they don't do as much damage digging around?  Ameivas are relatives of tegus, they are relatively smart. YMMV, obviously

Seeds arrived, thanks a lot!!!
All the best

Sambucus mexicana  (also known as S. nigra ssp. caerulea, S. nigra ssp. canadensis, S. caerulea) grow jolly well wild in San Diego.  Here's a picture I took on a hike this weekend:   .   
Native plant nurseries carry it, too.   Enjoy

I’m also interested in C. imperiale seeds

They look like Ichneumonid wasps to me, but I can't tell for sure.  Ichneumonidae are parasitoids, they are beneficial.   

> tree still dormant capable shipping to san diego.

Mine's in full bloom, and probably most in SD county are, except maybe around Julian.  You may also want to check with mail-order nurseries that carry Red Baron: they may have some that are still dormant.  Sorry. If you still need them next year, ping me in winter and I'll give you a few scions. All the best, Dimitry.

Syzygium malaccense is gorgeous.  Pitanga (E. unifflora) can be really pretty when trained as a tree.  Actually, most trees / large shrubs in Myrtle subfamily are quite decorative when properly pruned.  Another option is Arbutus unedo - there's a bunch of them next to Qualcomm W building.  The fruit tastes like rotten carrot though. Bleh!   Mexican manzanita is gorgeous but picky about conditions.  Native cherries (hollyleaf, catalina, chokecherry) are pretty but usually deciduous. Date palm is impressive when well taken care of.  Queen palm (they're all over San Diego) has edible fruit, but it's a bit of an acquired taste. Citrus are great.  Black sapote is pretty but may or may not do well depending on where you are in San Diego. White sapote is pretty but messy. There's a bunch more - just pick whichever you like!  It's the space that's the problem most of the time O_o

Is Bourreria succulenta edible?   Bircher&Bircher book lists it as "said to be edible", and a few websites list it as edible; but one of its names is "poisonberry" and it makes me not so sure.  Anyone knows whether it's edible?  Please let me know.  Thanks!

Doing a quick search, there seem to be only two Syzygium species on Reunion: S. jambos (invasive) and S. cymosum (native).  The fruit in the image looks like S. jambos, but S. jambos has white flowers.  Could this be a hybrid between the two?  S. cymosum has pink flowers.  Other relatively common red-flowered Syzygiums are S. malaccense and S. wilsonii, but this is neither of the two.
