Lol. I appreciate your modesty, but you definitely deserve it man. You are the top 5 sellers on TFF IMHO...

Another issue is they are not insect-pollinated, and only will successfully wind-pollinate when you have a large bush with lots of open flowers at once.
In their native range, birds (and maybe bats) pollinate when they eat the flower lobes (which are delicious, you should at least be harvesting those if yours flowers). Hand pollinating is recommended for small bushes.
Brian,
Wish you the best of luck on finding these rarities, hopefully someone here can share.
For the Ahipa (Pachyrhizus ahipa) and Arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza), Cultivariable occasionally has them in stock, I believe based on their personal harvests. Suggest signing up for their waitlists. The site has tons of great tubers and vegetables.

Yangmei is totally different than Arbutus unedo. Although the fruits do look alike.
These seeds are fresh.
But the thing that seems consistent with everyone growing them is that they are slow. Give them some time and good quality seeds and growing conditions seem to be the trick. Of course we can’t guarantee anything
Is it really five time per cacao seed? Maybe on etsy that would be the case?! ha ha ha. If I get, the seed I'll usually sell around a buck a piece. Fruit can't be shipped to mainland (idk about Puerto Rico...different rules compared to Hawaii re: shipping to mainland).
Cupuassu, we have them here, but not super common. I can only think of 5-6 guys that have it fruiting. But i'm sure there are more growing here and there in the islands.
