Adam I got a package from "from the Sea" so if you can sell them. Do so. If not I will trade you and send you a bunch of mountain soursop seeds. Whatever works.

planted all the seeds about 3 days ago, they had started to germinate in the bag I had them in on my desk, in some slightly moist vermiculite.

hoping to have at least 10 of these to grow...I'd like to get one to fruiting size, it's a bit of a challenge, being somewhat cold sensitive.

I just think the tree is super pretty..especially when it gets loaded with fruits...and u can easily fruit this one in a pot. (I'd like to get enough seedlings going, so I can graft some!)

these seedlings are tough!  can handle high temps! 

if they keep up this pace, I might have some ready to ship in a few months!

(seed came from Grimal's tree!  Thanks Patrick!)

I have some Bilimbi seedlings for sale now, still small, but just strong enough to ship. (very resistant to high temps!)

about 4-5 inch tall...in plugs....(planted from seeds that came from Grimal Grove).

they cost $7 ea if you buy one

buy two it's $6 ea...

buy three or more it's $5 ea

I can fit about 6-8 plants per box, and it cost $5 to ship (USA and PR) via USPS priority mail.

(will post pics later)

You have the white Jade pineapple plants for sale too at the moment, I saw on your Facebook page?
Would be interested in some Bilimbi starters and pineapple plants.

I have a bunch of small bilimbi (5-6 inch tall in plugs) seedlings I need to sell!

Right now the price is rock bottom...

$5 ea, minimum order of 2
Buy 3 or more it's $3 ea

Shipping is USPS $5 per box, can fit about 6 plants per box.

Plants are cold sensitive, so shipping to destinations with current temps below 38F is not recommended.

@FlyingFoxFruits curious how you are able to get Bilimbi seeds to germinate?
I've given up trying to grow both my sweet and regular (sour) Kamias and even Iba to grow from seed and just air-layer them like the Carambolas. Any tips would be appreciated!
Diggin in dirt and shifting compost - gardeners crossfit regime :)

i did nothing special, just planted them like any other seed!

maybe your tree makes sterile seeds?  have you tried to see if they are hollow? or if they have an embryo at all?
