Anyone Know of a source for Cambuca?
« on: July 02, 2012, 11:22:09 AM »
Been looking for this for a little while. I was hoping to be able to get a few on my trip to Puerto Rico but that is not looking likely now.

keep in mind, if you find a cambuca they aren't cheap...they are practically endangered...and very hard to source.

I've paid over $60 for a 3 gal, and I got a deal!! 

I'd say a sprouted seedling in a one gal would easily bring $25...a three year old seedling, in 3gal...about $75 (if over 2ft tall)

so bring your checkbook!!

Yep, I don't mind paying for bigger ones. With them being slow growers I want to try to get a decent sized one to add to the small one gals that I am already getting.

Do you know if they come true from seed?
