The Tropical Fruit Forum

Having to cut down some canes before a major freeze event. $5 per 3 node cuttings. If some pieces have to be cut as 2 node cuttings I'll  add an extra or cut other pieces as 4 nodes if possible because of lengths. Minimum of 3 cuttings at $15 plus applicable shipping. Diameter of canes vary widely so they may come various size diameters. If you live up north I have 72hr heating packs for an additional $5 per package but cannot guarantee anything for sure. It's also gonna be extremely cold the next week so consider that as well. Buyer's risk. First come first served. Paypal and cashapp are accepted payments. Trades considered for other varieties, various herb plants, and low chill or otherwise cold hardy fruits. Hit me up!

I know Ryan is in TN. Anyone know if he's all good with all the storm flooding up that way.

Hello North Florida residents and close by neighbors! I just created a new Facebook plant sellers page/group. Inviting y'all to join! If you aren't somewhat local that is OK to advertise if you are capable of shipping to North Florida and nearby areas. The twist of this plant sellers group is that it's strictly edible, medicinal, and useful plants only. Please see rules for greater details. The page/group is called "North FL Edible, Medicinal, and Useful plants and nursery seller's group". The group was just created last night but is already gaining members steadily. Come over there and join up! It's gonna be the new hub for North Florida plant and nursery sellers and buyers connections group for our region. Shameless advertising, "in search of" posts, giveaways, trades, edible and useful plants informational posts, recipes/harvests/medicinal extraction techs are all welcome so long as it's based in the realm of edibles, medicinal, and useful plants. Help us get this group up and running! Please comment here if you joined from this post so I can get an idea of where the traffic is coming from.

Thanks for your help! DG

My dad lives in Sarasota and is looking for a lychee tree. Think he wants a fairly sizable one off to a good start. He would prefer a dwarf type and self fruitful type if that's possible or exists but he would like any if not I would guess. Does anyone have trees available?

Does anyone know of any fruit and or plant related shows, festivals, expos, etc in the FL panhandle area from like Jacksonville to Pensacola? Maybe downwards towards cedar key? Also possibly homesteading or similar interests kinda conventions? I know there's things like "Keeper's of the Old Ways" or the "American Farmstead Convention" out there but I cannot find much if any info online about other events. I would be also interested in any like events in south Georgia or Alabama as well. If you know of any such things please make me aware.

Thanks! DG

Tons of ashwanganda seeds available. 50 seeds for $3 plus shipping. Can ship as USPS ground advantage package with tracking or with a non-machineable stamped envelope for $1. The ground advantage package not only has tracking but also gets handled like a package so the seeds definitely won't get crushed. It will be more expensive though. The non-machineable stamps are supposed to make sure that the envelope will not go through roller machines and such that often crush the seeds but sometimes they do that regardless in my experience. Either way I will pad the seeds a bit to reduce the chances of crushed seeds.

Bunches of available cuttings of bronze scuppernog grape. Not sure what the variety may have been but the original vines are from the property behind mine. They've been there an awful long time. There's two varieties growing on a gazebo like arbor on that neighbor's land. I rooted a piece from one of them a few years back for my own yard. Wish I could get a piece of the other variety. Met the original owner when we moved here but the land has been sold twice since then and I don't know the new owners and they aren't living there full time yet. The particular one I have is very productive and very sweet. Good sized grapes like many you might buy at a store. My vine has lots of growth to cut back. Can send good length cuttings at $1.50 each. Minimum of 8 cuttings at $12 plus applicable shipping. Small flat rate box or priority mail package if cheaper.

Thanks! DG
