Great post Bill. I'm not sure if this helps any, but more information is always good.

Dongkui has the highest sugar content, but Wandao has very low acidity and seems to be the sweetest. I remember reading somewhere that Wandao is the same as Late Growing. Is this true?

You should really wrap them with buddy tape or parafilm

This, and ASAP. They need high humidity right now. At least bag them up if you don't want to wrap them. They'll have a tough time reviving if left out in the open, especially in sunlight. Good luck!

Hi shmojojojo,

You got a variegated variety, ultra rare.  Maybe you can sell it for couple thousand.

Hey Al. I wish! I don't think it's going to survive. I read after the energy from the seed depletes, the plant dies because it can't photosynthesize. I also read they only survive a few weeks, but this seedling is about 5 months old. So I don't know... 

plantperson, yeah I figure it's a goner. But it is slightly yellowish and has survived longer than I thought it would. I might add some osmocote next

I'm in! Thanks Jason!

Only one of my trees (DK) showed possible signs of nematodes. It was just one bulbous root that I cut off. Other than that, the trees look really nice! I also soaked in B1 Start for about an hour and watered the soil with it. I've had great results using it in the past for other trees. The plants skipped transplant shock and new growth would appear just a couple days later.



Already in their new homes. I know these plants are cold tolerant once they're established, but is it ok to leave them out at night while they're recuperating? My lows are in the 40-45F for the next week.

On my way! I should be back home around 4pm. I'll text everyone before I leave and after I get home

Thanks Bill!

I still haven't heard back from Pasca. I sent you a PM regarding pickup. Please reply ASAP

I have some available 1/4" 3/8" sizes

Willing to trade as well

I edited my last post, but not sure if people will see it, so I'm posting here.

I planned on putting the trees in a bucket of rain water for storing, but since most people are picking up same day, maybe it's best to leave the trees in their original bags until they're picked up. If you do want me to keep the roots in water, or any other request, feel free to let me know. Also, I'm near a Home Depot if you would prefer to pick up in a public place.

ok, Right now the following LA folks have decided to pick up from Shaun's place in West Covina.

Okay, sounds good. Most everyone has contacted me already. If not, PM for my address. I'm working from home, so my hours are pretty flexible for pickup. Hopefully everyone can pickup same day.

Also, I plan on keeping the bareroot trees in a bucket of collected rainwater with a bag over them and a rope tied around the bucket to seal them in. I'll put them in my greenhouse for extra protection. Is this okay with everyone or is there a better way to store these trees?

Good luck!

Looks kinda like Campomanesia, but usually there's a calyx on the fruit. Probably a Garcinia
