Zimbabwe is more temperate. Dry and low humidity in winter with almost no rain.  Nights can be cool in winter.

You should attempt germination pretty well ASAP.  I know people in Russia & Italy with them.

Mind you and this maybe disgusting but I have also found swallowing the seeds and allowing them to go through my digestive acids has also worked wonders on hard to germinate seeds.  But don't try this with poisonous seed species.

Obviously the removal of the seeds with gloves is needed but if it means getting rare and expensive seeds to germinate then I will try anything....LOL

I had a pot of Chiranthodendron pentadactylon seeds which I gave up on.  So I decided to sterilize the pot and the same medium without removing the said seeds.  I sterilized with boiling water for 5 minutes the medium. Then cooled and planted out some new seeds in the medium. The medium was originally fresh so didn't want to waste it.  Now you would think that boiling hot water would kill anything including any viable embryo in said seeds but heavens behold within 5 days the Chiranthodendron pentadactylon all started to germinate that were left in the pot.

It seems the boiling water did the trick and amazingly never killed the seeds.

I have now tried the same technique on some other hard to germinate species to see if this will break the dormancy along with sitting the seeds in smokey water to mimic a bush fire.

Lets see the out comes.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Posting prices from Brazil to abroad.
« on: March 07, 2018, 12:06:59 PM »
Generally I have found postage from Brazil to be rather fast, as long as it's not stopped by IBAMA. Once they get it, it can take 2 months to arrive.  I think it depends on the inspectors or destination countries as I have received packages opened by IBAMA and re-taped up, without a permit to send overseas and they still let it out after inspecting it. This is where it becomes confusing. Maybe they target rare Brazilian species and let other stuff through?

Well done Oscar at least someone has good luck with Theobroma.  I have 3 x 3 metre high Theobroma bicolor, 2 x 4 metre high grandiflorum and 3 x gilleri and they all flower but never have set fruit yet.

« on: February 17, 2018, 12:09:38 AM »
Mucuna bennettii and Mucuna novoguineensis are 2 separate species, but everyone gets confused on this.  Seeds finished about 1 month ago, I guess I could try a small marcott (air layering ) for you, but can plants be sent to the USA?

Oscars right, in my experience with African collectors in a number of years, this species has never been located.  It is pretty RARE and hard to get.  Get it while you can.
