Who are some reputable seed vendors you guys use?
« on: October 28, 2022, 04:56:51 PM »
I've bought from tradewinds fruit, and sheffields seed with ok results (both I kind of had to do a touch of due diligence in checking when they arrived and the expected viability of said seed species in storage, though they have stock species identified very well and the things that are viable have expected rates of germination), hobbyseeds was trustworthy , strictlymedicinalseeds with very good results.

Though not tropical these guys were exceptionally reputable and I feel deserve mention also, prariemoon nursery and hayefield.

Who else can be trusted?

To name a few:

Raulglezruiz
Palologrower
Shilohtech
Bellamytrees
Fruitsyfarms
Hapajoesnursery
Huertasurbanas
Farwellfruitfarm (I haven't bought from them, all sold out, but they have an informative website)

As well as other forum members generously sharing their genetics in the buy/sell forum.

I had mixed results with Farwellfruitfarm. I do not understand why he does not store his jaboticaba seeds in moist vermiculite like every other seller I've bought from. I wouldn't say don't buy any seeds from him (whenever he restocks his site with new seeds), but I had a lower germination rate from his jaboticaba seeds than from ones I bought here on the Forum from achetadomestica, Vernmented, and others.

So, add Vernmented to the list of good seed sellers. I've purchased rumberry (Myrciaria floribunda) seeds from Tang Tonic in the past. If you want to go through the aggravation of trying to germinate those, you will want to get them from him. I've never seen abimael777 offer seeds for sale, but he offers some very nice seedling plants at affordable prices.
