Hi All,

I have some extra well rooted yellow rose apple airlayers (2-4ft). I have two extra this week. There are more on the tree. They have been well soaked in water and bagged to make a little greenhouse.

I gave a special price to people I promised some to last year. This year's price is $60 + shipping and PayPal fees. I will include a small handful of rose apples on each order since they are fruiting now.

Please email mysteryknightplants@gmail.com to reach out to me. Have a great weekend.

Hi All,

We have some great Surinam cherries this year. I am setting seeds from the Black Star cultivar for $2/each + shipping. Not all of the ones in the picture are perfectly ripe as they are a deep red when ripe. They have a very nice sweetness. Anyway, please reach out if you have any other questions!

Hey All,

I am the chair of our local CRFG San Diego chapter. I am looking for people who have chosen to specialize in specific fruiting plant varieties to be speakers at our monthly meetings, either in person or on Zoom (7pm PST, 4th Wednesday of the month). It is a great way to market your knowledge, brand and what you sell online AND help us Southern California fruit nerds learn more about growing cool cultivars/species. Please reach out to our club email if interested, crfgsd@gmail.com. Please use the header Speaker Request if you can so we can easily sort the emails. Have a great week!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Flash Sale: Jocote Cuttings!
« on: January 25, 2023, 08:43:32 PM »
My neighbor and I cut his Jocote trees way back today and have a haul of cuttings. This will be a bulk sale to move them quickly.
I will fill a USPS flat rate envelope with cuttings for the price of $25 + shipping and PayPal fees. I think I can manage 5 or 6 packages. Not all the cuttings will be the same size but you will get lots of them. Have a great week. Reach out if interested.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Fresh Beaumont Macadamia Seeds
« on: January 10, 2023, 04:44:38 PM »
Hi All,

The Beaumont macadamia trees are full of nuts. In addition to processing airlayer orders right now(list is pretty full right now but can take requests + a small deposit ($) for each airlayer that will be put on the trees come February/March) I am collecting lots of fresh nuts. Seeds will be priced by volume (not including shipping):

1-10 nuts: $2/each
10-100 nuts: $1.75/each
100+ nuts $1.50/each



PayPal Note: PayPal is charging 3.49% (on total, including any taxes invoiced as well as shipping which makes no sense at all to me) + $0.49 on each transaction. I will be including these fees in the buyers invoice as I cannot eat them with my low margins. I also will not be including CA sales tax (7.75% that I report to the state) in the base price for my seeds/scions. So, expect higher invoiced prices on all transactions done through PayPal. I hate doing this and am open to other ways of doing sustainable online sales. If you are local and are paying in person, disregard this PayPal fee. Thanks!

Broken down:
$10 Item
 +7.75% CA Sales Tax
=$10.78
 +$5 Shipping (No CA Sales Tax)
=$15.78
 +3.49% Overall PayPal Percentage-Based Fee
 +$0.49 Flat PayPal Fee
=$16.33 Final Invoiced Total

If interested please message me with an address and email to send the invoice to. Have a great week all.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Fresh Kecil Wax Jambu Scions
« on: November 10, 2022, 08:26:06 PM »
Updated 1/7/2023: Kecil a wax jambu that originates from Frankie's Nursery in Hawaii. It is an aromatic, semi sweet jambu with a slight red blush on the end of ripened fruit. It is a very productive variety that sets two crops per year in San Diego.
$6/scion or 5 for $25 as this is a very hard to find variety. I won't sit on them for more than a week before putting them in soil to grow out for Spring.

Anyone growing silvervine kiwi? I would like to for cat treats as well as fruit. I see One Green World has listings for male and female vines but they are out of stock. Any insight into whether this is worth growing for the fruit would be helpful. Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Ice Cream Bean Bulk Sale
« on: October 18, 2022, 04:18:10 PM »
Hi All,

So we are flush with ice cream beans (mature and still great for seeds but the pulp won't be ideal for eating) and offering bulk discounts. Shipping the whole beans can get quite heavy so I have decided to do the following:

Option A:
I can ship the beans whole at a price of

$2/bean, minimum 25 beans
$3/bean, minimum 15 beans

Option B:
I can dehusk the beans and pack the seeds with pulp in moistened peat moss to lower the shipping cost. Price for this method would be per packed seed

$0.50/seed, minimum 50 seeds

Orders are processed on Sunday and Monday. Thanks! Have a great week!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Leo Manuel's Mango Notes
« on: August 07, 2022, 04:26:20 PM »
Hi All,

As part of the California Rare Fruit Growers, San Diego board I am helping to spread the body of knowledge that Mr. Leo Manuel collected during his time here on earth. He was deeply involved with our chapter. He helped to trial mango varieties here and created some varieties of his own. These varieties are being entrusted to members of our chapter for propagation. The link below  is for his Mango Notes. Please share this knowledge. His varieties will be available as our club propagates more material. Have a great week!

In order to make this a smooth process I will respond to order requests every Sunday, confirm order if enough seeds are available, and collect, clean and pack seeds, .

Shipping for plants is variable and will be calculated upon order confirmation (you can specify the speed at which you would like to be shipped items). No international shipping. If you live in San Diego, you can specify local pickup to save on shipping. Only shipping within the US. Thanks!

$1 Jocote (per seed)
$1 Surinam Cherry, red (per seed)
$0.10 Inca Golden Berry (per seed)
$10 Ice Cream Bean (whole)
$15 Guayabana Seedlings (6in), will be barerooted and packed in coco coir or peat moss
$2 Yellow Coffee (per seed)
$2 Red Bourbon Coffee (per seed)
$1 Regular Red Arabica Coffee (per seed)
