Really nice to meet you and your family. I was very impressed by your presentation. Your passion for rare fruits is evident and I learned a few things! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and I look forward to many more trades in the future.

Ultra limited: Annona Salzmannii "Bahia Gigante" Beach Sugar Apple
The tastiest of the wild annonas, and a species that I have been chasing for a while. This is a single tree sourced from private property in the state of Bahia Brazil. Previous attempts to germinate were unsuccessful. These are very healthy 1/2 gallon pot grown and limited. This is #2 of 3, I am auctioning and the rest I am growing out for my own collection. I have other variations germinating but this is the famed Gigante.

Seedling drop: I am home and finally have time to inventory. I have some amazing seedlings to offer as I transition from seed sales to seedlings and more of a nursery. I will be working on adding seedlings (2.5” seedling pot) on my Etsy site. I will also have larger 1 gallon goodies on my homesite once I figure out shipping.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: SoCal pickup only plant sale
« on: June 01, 2023, 01:19:52 AM »
June 3: 8 am to Noon in Eagle Rock
From Kelly. Howdy anyone that lives in or near Los Angeles... looks like enough people are interested that we'll hold a plant sale this Saturday, June 3 from 8 am - noon in our driveway. I'm a collector of super rare and unusual fruit trees, but this sale will be a bunch of that BUT ALSO over 50 Rhipsalis, other ornamentals, cacti, lots of free pots or plants with purchase, etc. If your interested, let me know.
I've started a pretty good Airtable database of what's available now. There are many large plants in the list, including many in half-wine barrels so some will require trucks or SUV. Bring bags to help cover any pots if you want to keep your car clean. Hit me up if you're local to Southern California and interested, I'll give the addy and spread the word! 🙂 If you can't make that time/date, just LMK and we'll figure something out.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pitomba (Talisia esculenta)
« on: May 27, 2023, 11:41:44 PM »
I really enjoyed eating these in Brazil.  Not a huge amount of flesh but I popped them and ate them all day long.  They are especially good chilled.  I have a bunch of seedlings and they are very fast growers in a Sandy mix.

Hapa Joe new promotion... Free homemade Annona Crassiflora fruit roll up for the next 25 orders made on etsy. Ever wanted to taste Annona crassiflora, we used a dehydrating machine to make pure Annona crassiflora "Marolo" fruit roll up as a thank you for all the support. These are not for sale but possibly in the near future. One roll up per seedling order made from my etsy shop.

That was the last fuzzy Inga from Helton Josue Orchard. I have another somewhat similar one we found in Bahia, but you got the good one :) Glad to see it go to good home. Race you to first fruit!

Had to up pot one of my Myrciaria sp Roxa the blue guaq. and decided to make a quick video of my favorites to collect.  I am addicted to growing as many of these as I can.

Hello fellow fruit addicts, I have some seedlings available in the nursery. Shipping to all 50 states is included. I will be dropping new seedlings daily so favorite my shop to get the drop!

Inga cabelo "Fuzzy Ice Cream Bean" possible dwarf to small tree
The fruits are delicious and very refreshing for in natura consumption, especially if they are left in the fridge for a few hours. The tree is ornamental and great for decorating small gardens. The flowers are of excellent quality in nectar and pollen production, and therefore very suitable for beekeepers. Fruits are firm and because fruit flies are horny, they do not attack, a quality that gives great potential for marketing fruits in nature. By the small size this species can be successfully cultivated in urban arborization.
Sold Out

Pouteria gardneri "Sapotinha" Very sweet edible skin.
Sapotinha, also known as Pouteria Gardneri, is a scarce fruit belonging to the Sapotaceae family, and it is indigenous to Paraguay, Southern, Eastern, and Northern Brazil, and Bolivia. This fruit thrives in both full sun and dappled shade and is commonly found in the wild, growing on well-drained clay soils and moderately fertile soils. The fruit is typically harvested from the wild and consumed locally. It contains a single seed enveloped in a very sweet, juicy pulp similar to jaboticaba. The skin is edible!

Inga spectalabis var. Amazonas Giant

Pouteria ramiflora “Curriola"
Pouteria ramiflora is a species of Pouteria, originating from the state of Acre. It bears fruit twice a year and is highly tolerant of cold temperatures. The mother plant from which we collected seeds was able to withstand temperatures as low as -2°C without any harm.

Some have described as the taste as a blend between an Abiu (Pouteria cainito) and an Avocado.

Campomanesia xanthocarpa "Gaibiroba Boliviana”
Gabiroba is a semi-deciduous tree with a tall, dense, pyramid-shaped crown, ranging in height from 4 - 15 metres. Native from Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul to Rio Grande do Sul in almost all forest formations of those regions. The edible fruits are greatly appreciated within the plant's native range, where it is gathered from the wild and also cultivated in home gardens and orchards.Fruits are eaten raw, The round yellow or orange fruits  with juicy, firm and sweet-tasting pulp



Plinia sp Grimal
Fruits at 5-10 years old, mature trees are freeze tolerant to the low 20's, one of the top 100 most delicious fruits on the planet.  Taste is similar to Sabara Jaboticaba (see above) but larger fruit (up to 4cm), thicker skin with a longer hold period (3+ days unrefrigerated) after harvest, firmer flesh, and a more mild but satisfying flavor that you can eat pounds of per sitting.  60%+ pulp by weight, produces at 5-10 years old and bears a few times per year after 2-5 years of fruiting if kept irrigated and fertilized.  Germination rates of 80%+ will continue well past 3 months from harvest.  Needs daily watering and pH <7.5 either by water, soil, or amendments.  Perfect for container culture.

Talked to Vitor two trips ago. Awesome guy but he is done seed exploration. The risk to reward was not worth it.  I am experiencing the same thing. Unfortunately with the influx of cheap seeds that devalue the work of the actual explorers it’s just not worth it. I am transitioning  from a seed shop to seedling and trees for the nursery business. None of these expeditions are vacations and except for a few
Duguetia and Pouteria species I still want to find, then I’d rather be at home with my family and dogs raising the trees I spent a lot of blood sweat and mosquito bites  to procure.  Hopefully we can keep the prices up so locals have to incentive to go out and hunt. 

41
At Fygee. Not yet but I’m hoping to change that with Kaz’s help.  He is the west coast loquat expert :)

42
I have Pajuro gigante and Pajuro normal too.  Just need time to clean and process these but because of the size of the seed will probably germinate these too.

43
Yes.  I have a bunch of pouteria speciosa seeds (huge seeds and difficult to source viable seeds) but will grow these out and sell some as seedlings :) you are right. This is one I have been looking for a long time.  ;D In Brazil they think it’s going to be a commercial crop and I know some people are working on producing it commercially.

44
It is in the video link above.  The pulp was juicy and sweet.  The seeds are hard and larger than most psidium seeds I have gathered.

Waiting for seeds to arrive and have time to work on some videos. I spent some time with my Team and Andres Pires searching for rare plinia and other fruits in the Bahia state of Brazil. We discovered a new plinia species and Plinia rara is the coolest and weirdest Plinia ever.

Not sure why you needed a super urgent response to this that it couldn’t wait until I got back to the USA.

So sorry it took 3 weeks to ship you your FREE seeds, but I’m sure my paying customers appreciate I took care of them first.

Well you wanted 20 percent of my favorite fruit seed. You said it yourself. You waited a week to take them out of the bag. You left TROPICAL fruit seeds in a bag for a week. Yes. I guess I got upset that you let 100 free seeds of my favorite fruit that I spent ver a year to find, market, source, and collect seeds.  You complained while I was on another expedition in the middle of the jungle, about free seeds.
I shipped all those seeds back to the USA for free. Sent them to you for free.
You let them sit for a week and then you and and your friend come up with some weird forum posts to bad mouth me. Lol.
