Hi!

I live in Portugal, zone 10a but I think it is not like California, here the temperatures go bellow 0ŗC, and the wind from the Atlantic is to fear. I lost my papaya with 6 years, in a sheltered location. Other plants get the foliage burnt by the wind and don't flower. It is unthinkable to leave garcinia, myrciaria ot young eugenia in the open during Autumn and Winter. They are slow growers and damage can take years to recover.

Hi!

I grow it here in Portugal (zone 10a) although no fruit or flowers yet. But I know that are people in Florida growing them. It must be the most suitable state in continental USA.

Only passiflora caerulea, passiflora capsularis, cas guava, coffee robusta and eugenia calycina available!

Mine is adapting and growing fine! :-)

Hmm, I don't think so! 

Hi!

Has anyone tasted this fruit, rattan palm/yantok (calamus manillensis)?

Thank you!

Joćo Franco

Ok, Thanks a lot. I am anxious to try the uvaia fruit!

Joćo.

The seeds are germinating:




Its fruit has a flavour which reminds a mix between tomato, sour cherries and lichee.

Hi fellows!

I am looking for seeds of inga, especially inga edulis, baccaurea species (except baccaurea courtallensis,  and baccaurea ramiflora), bouea macrophylla and from garcinia intermedia. If you have some of these, please send me a PM. Thank you very much!

Best wishes,

Joćo Franco

Hi friends!

I have solanum pectinatum seeds available to trade for other exotic seeds. The taste is quite acid.








Thanks,

Hi!

It sure looks like p. ligularis. When the fruits are really ripe the shell turns brownish.

Hi!

It is always inspiring to see the photos of your work! All the plants are alive and well! Thanks again!
