Most of the seedlings I planted from this survived our Vegas winter without protection. It was a very mild winter this season mind you, but that's still very promising.
Continuing my journey to disprove those who say "You can't grow that in the desert" since 2013.

Hi Brian,
Thought to be Inga feuillei


quote author=brian link=topic=55379.msg549457#msg549457 date=1741745936]
Do you know what type these are?

I'd like a box, I'll PM you.  I wasn't a huge fan of my own ice cream bean, supposedly edulis, but I'd like the opportunity to try more fruits before I write it off.  Container grown exotics in Pennsylvania aren't exactly the best representation of a fruit.

Hi Kaz,
I am not able to at this time. Will get that to you asap or send me a pic. Thanks!

Jonah, your fruits were so good last year when I tried them, first time for me. Can you post a few photos of what a small seedling plant should look like. I think I saved all the seeds from your fruits and planted them, but didn't label so I don't know what the baby leaves look like. Thanks.

If you still have a box of fruits, I'd like to buy one. I want to let some other people who have never tried it eat one.

Fruit arrived quickly and was delicious. Some of the seeds were already germinated inside the pod. Would definitely recommend

I'm A young Fruit grower in Northern VA with a greenhouse and a climate controlled room in my house. I'm still in school but dream of having a fruit farm somewhere tropical. Looking for rare passiflora seeds/plants. Thank You!

I can testify that the beans were amazing and am excited for my seedlings that are now coming up. thank you, jonas!
I would like to be the Eugenia King of New Orleans and spread tropical fruit throughout the city starting in the 9th Ward. I'm especially interested in guava and eugenia from around the world and in breeding new varieties by chance, coincidence, and accident.
