The Tropical Fruit Forum

Available now in the US now! ONLY 19 SEEDS AVAILABLE! Shipping to the US only! The freshest seeds of Mano de tigre (Duguetia stenantha) you will ever get in the US directly from the Amazon! I don't know if they have ever been offered before but probably this could be the first time these seeds are on the market in the US. I took the seeds out of a fresh fruit exactly a two weeks ago. Do not bargain the price please, I am offering exclusivity, freshness, and I took all the risk to bring the seeds safely into the US. You will not risk losing your money or the seeds in customs as these seeds all already in NYC. To name my price I also took into consideration the asking price of other rare south american duguetias oferred in the seeds' market by Sellami (seeds hunter website). The fruit tastes like zapote /  chupa chupa. Each seed is USD $35 plus shipping. If you want to buy 10 seeds or more we can see you get some discount. Payment through paypal or zelle. Interested please send me a private message. Thanks in advance

Hi. My friends in Colombia are planning to buy some seeds from this guy https://www.facebook.com/jesusceliano.vazquez. I wanted to know if any of you have bought seeds from him and how was your experience overall? thanks in advance.

I have my two vasconcellea sphaerocarpa plants, both are 22 inches high. These plants are over 6 months old so they should star flowering in the next 9 months in the right weather conditions. They defoliated due to cold here in NY but as you can see in the pics, they are eager to grow with the new shots coming up. I had them inside my house so they have not been exposed to extreme cold. If you are interested please send me a message with your zip code and we can work something out.

These are the first and only seedlings available in the US of the amazing lulo de páramo from Colombia. Fruit is acid in the outer meat and sweet like a good melon in the inside. This lulo is like no other you have tasted before. You will have the chance to try to fruit this lulo for the first time in the US! I am also offering seedlings of the big commercial lulo (please see pic where I show two lulos on my hand for size comparison). Both types of lulo have spikes, so if you care about getting quality fruit, you will get it with these two types of lulo. I can ship two plants in a medium flat rate box for $15, or 3-4 in a large flat rate box for $21. I have the last 12 units of each variety. $15 per plant + shipping! Payment via FB pay, Zelle or paypal. If you are really interested please send me a message with your zip code and # of seedlings you want.

This is a new species of wild malimorfis which I found last year in a small municipality back in Colombia, called Anapoima. My family owns a house in a complex there and I found the plant hanging on a wall from a house in the street. The ecosystem present in this municipality is the dry forest ecosystem, which has been vastly affected by deforestation throughout Colombia. The plant has some unique characteristics that I have noticed while growing it. It grows in poor soil, it is resistant to high temperatures (can take 35 celcius or more with no problems), drought tolerant, grows extremely fast, and produces a lot of fruits. Fruits are golf size, sweet and will fall of from the plant when ripe. Leaves are elongated with pink veins, the stems of the leaves are pink as well (see pics) I have the last 10 seedlings left of this plant, as I already sold the rest i grew over the summer here in NYC. Price is $15 per plant + shipping. This might be your only chance to get your hands on this new species, as these are the only seedlings available in the US for sale. Payment paypal, Zelle or Facebook Pay. If you are interested please send me a message with your zip code and the number of seedlings you would like to buy. Thanks

I have a few seedlings left of granadilla (passiflora ligularis). Each seedlings is about 10 inches. $15 per plant + shipping. I can ship to any state in the US.  Seeds are from Colombian granadillas that I brought this yr to the US. If you are serious about buying please send me a private message. You can pay via Facebook Pay, Zelle or paypal.

These are probably the only seedlings available in the US of vasconcellea sphaerocarpa and goudotiana. V. sphaerocarpa an endemic wild plant that grows in Colombia, used in sweets. For me the greatest wild mountain papaya in terms of amount of meat to make sweets, mermelade, etc. V. goudotiana my first discovery back in Colombia, when fully mature in the tree the inner white meat is soft and tastes like feijoa, the thin skin that covers the seeds tastes like passion fruit. A combination of these two wild mountain papayas would make for me the perfect mountain papaya variety. Quantities are limited. Price is $35 per plant + shipping & handling. Contact me if you are really interested. No negotation of prices. No seeds available. Thanks in advance.
