Baccaurea ramiflora seeds are recalcitrant (zero germination if dried or not stored correctly). If i were you I wouldn't waste my money. 

Thanks EvilFruit! I thought they wouldn't be viable for long. I just couldn't find any info in my search.

Since I got my permit, I have become a tropical fruit seed addict, and have been importing like crazy! 

Thanks for the info! Will take it into consideration.

Not always well has been my experience so far.  Won't go into the details of my first try at this but long story short, the folks at the Texas USDA inspection station had no clue to their own regulations.  I'm well into my second try and the seeds made it to Miami last week and at the inspection station's PO box waiting to be picked up.  Nobody obviously made a trip to the post office on Friday so they will sit there until Monday.  Hopefully someone will make a trip then and all works out according to plan.

Geez you'd think customs in Texas would know!

Add to it which i feel is even better, Pisang Raja.   Now, since you are in Ohio, I would focus on varieties that are small in height and those that are more cold tolerant and any with a sort time to fruit and harvest (Viente Cohol fits this characteristic although I don't find it a top tier nana).

Could I keep blue Java at a decent height? I have a heated greenhouse that can take a max height of 12 ft.

Question for sildanani and googer - did you pre-soak your seeds?

I soaked them for 24 hours in warm water prior to planting them.

TropicalFruitHunters- What a great opportunity! I've looked at your photo blog a few times and your specimens are such an inspiration. I will keep that in mind and contact you when my tree is big enough to be grafted. -Thanks

yeah....these single digit temps are a killer.  Your plants should be okay.  You could always get a seed heating mat.  That would help keep the roots warmer.

I do have a seed heating mat, but I use it for the smaller seedlings. I have space heaters with tiles on top off them to keep things even more insulated. I moved it closer to the heater and I believe it has started to perk back up again. Thanks TropicalFruitHunters!

Its been in the single digits in Cincy lately and the space heaters in my greenhouse are struggling to keep all of the plants warm. My 10 month old custard apple seedling is a bit droopy from temps that went as low as the high 40s/low 50s. Will it be ok? Its now about 70 degrees. Is there anything I can do?

i just had anonnas die from using too rich of soil. seems we are having better luck using mainly sand.

Will take this into consideration! Thanks

I have attempted to grow both sugar apple and rollinia from seed with luck for only a temporary amount of time. The seedling would grow well for about 6 months and would at one point become chlorotic and develop brown/black tips and spots. I would remove these leaves and later, the tree's new growth refused to form and it lost its leaves and died! I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what disease it could be. I use organic potting soil and fertilize monthly.

Sorry, same species, different variety/strain.

I do not have a direct answer, but you could look into some zoos and conservatories. A number of them do offer paid and mostly unpaid internships. I don't know what percentage of the work that requires labor.

You might want to post this on the citrus trade page for a better chance of visibility.
