Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles - Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Kava - Piper methysticum... Looking for a plant or rhizomes to buy in Costa Rica
« on: March 23, 2023, 08:42:49 AM »
Ark Herb Farm I believe is in Costa Rica. They might have kava but if not lots of other cool species including entheogenic species.
See that this place was already mentioned now. Hope you found some kava for your gardens.

I've got raja puri bananas. After our huge freeze this year they are pretty beat up. Hopefully a few nice pups will come up this spring. If they do I can send off a few.

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles - Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: African potato mint tubers available

How do these taste when cooked?
They really don't taste too far off a white potato when roasted. An ever so slight hint of minty flavor but very minute. At the base of a cutting you'll get one larger tuber or a few decent sized tubers and lots of tiny ones in most cases. I've had them form egg sized tubers in a 4 inch pot but the more space you give them is better. Usually if kept in a small pot like that you'll just get a bunch of smaller tubers. Can be anywhere from one large with a few small to 2-10 small tubers. Most will be around marble sized if kept in small containers.

African potato mint tubers available for sale or trade. 5 tubers for $6 plus applicable shipping costs. Tubers vary in size but most will be around marble size. They do get bigger significantly to the size of an egg or so if given enough space. However the smaller ones are what I'm selling. Hit me up!

Bump. Did manage getting some Norris cuttings from a generous member. Hopefully I'll get them successfully rooted. Would still be into a few male cuttings or other female varieties.
Still looking for the other stuff still as well. Might have a connection going for arbutus seeds at some point. Very interested to grow these.

They propagate from hardened stem cuttings. Highly recommend growing it if you live far enough south. I used to live in Sarasota which is where I was born. Grew great for me there and yielded very well.

I have root beer plant if you still need one. What type of yuca do you have? I want to try a bunch of varieties here to see what produces best this far north and gets large roots in one summer season.
Really wish I could do pigeon pea here. Unfortunately they flower so late in the year up here that the frosts always take them out before a harvest. Loved growing them down in Central South Florida. Really great plant and tasty little peas.

Is the white Mulberry you're talking about the species Morus alba with black fruits or is it an actual white fruited variety?
What other plants or seeds might you have? I might grab some black sesame or chickpea seeds from you. Maybe the Hawaiian chili peppers too. Otherwise I have pretty much all the other stuff you offered.
Grown sesame before but it's hard to actually harvest the seeds here. Usually rains so much around the time they are ready that the seeds try to mold in the pods. I would potentially try again though. Never grown chickpeas but interested to try if they produce a sizable harvest. Are they vining or like a bush?

I've got American persimmon seeds available. Should make really hardy rootstock. American persimmon is a tough plant that grows in some bad soil no problem.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Pineapple Guava Fruit for Sale
« on: January 29, 2023, 04:23:26 PM »
Pineapple guava are pretty tasty. If you haven't tried them definitely give them a go. Hopefully I'll get fruit on mine this year. I finally got them in the ground so I would think so. The large local bush I harvested from got chopped down this year. What a shame! Was a cultivar worthy of naming if it wasn't already a named cultivar. I don't know if it was since it was along a roadside on the edge of a property of people I've never met. Apparently they didn't want it or didn't know what it was.

How hardy is this tree? It looks a lot like a doyvalis species but I'm likely wrong and didn't see any scientific name in your post. Do you have a minimum temp rating for it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'd be into some seeds for sure. Just in case cuttings don't work out. Are they a dioecious species?

I'd be interested in buying some saijo persimmon cuttings from you. I still have the possibility of freezes for another 1-2 months but probably won't be much below 30F if that. Figure I could try grafting my trees now. Or is waiting a month better?

Think I remember reading in a different thread about the ginger limes that you don't use the fruit? Bitter tasting juice or something? Could be wrong but think I read that. Would you say the leaves are great for cooking use like Kaffir lime?
