Hello everybody,
After some time away due to moving, here is my updated list of available species.
I would like to inform that i've moved to a place closest to the forest and its marvelous fruits
There are a few downsides : i depend on solar energy so i may be offline for some days, especially during the rainy season
Here is a important notice for buyers :
Rare tropical fruits enthousiasts know well that buying such seeds (recalcitrant for most) is not like buying an ordinary object of consumption online. Tropical seeds needs special cares and process prior to be shipped.
So after an order is placed, please do not expect to have in 1 or 2 days the seeds shipped out with tracking number.
Usually, shipping delay varies from 4 to 20 days.
I'm not growing all the seeds i'm offering for sale, most fruits are picked in the wild and i have to manage fruits ripeness, distance and other things like weather. Also, by the past, i had to manage some eagers buyers that are also uncivil.
I will no more accept orders from people that cannot wait few days for an email reply and are daily sending messages like "Hey, where r my seeds ? ? ? ? ? ?" without any minimum greeting. In that forum, we are all growing seeds, trees and patience too. A minimum of courtesy will be greatly appreciated too.
I ship worldwide, only by priority airmail with tracking. Since covid crisis, tracking service is working erraticly, for some cases or period it may take several days for first updates.
I'm not responsible if packets is lost or confisced by destinatories customs.
If you think you need special way of shippment (CN22 customs declaration, invoice, etc...) please don't hesitate to ask me, as i would do by best for you to have best chances to receive ordered seeds.
Unfortunately, i cannot provide any phyto certificate.
About seeds import permits, some rules ask for seeds to be shipped absolutely free from any material with it. But it is impossible for me to ship recalcitrant seeds without any moist medium : 90% of seeds will arrive unviable despite of a good appearance. So, except for special request, all recalcitrant seeds are packed with moist vermiculite or coco fiber to ensure the seeds to reach you healthy.
Generally, i try to ship more seeds quantity than ordered, to compensate a low germination rate due to eventually an extended delivery time and also because i know it is always a pleasure to receive more than expected
.
Thanx by advance for understanding.
