The Tropical Fruit Forum

I'm definitely in.

Finally see 1 import popping up, so no problem with the extra cold stratification. Will post a pic later.

Nada for me so far with the imports. But I did cold stratify for 2 months before I planted, so we'll see how that goes. I also got some from that newer batch from Ryan's site. Those went straight into a pot and about 3 weeks in. Patiently waiting.

I had a few sprout. Unfortunately hurricane Ian took them out. So I will buy again. Great seller 👍

Hopefully some day in the future all of these different fruits will be much more accessible to the public. I know most of everyone on this site is on that mission already. I know I am. Definitely want some of these!

Im tempted.. does anyone know of any wani mango fruiting in zones 9b/10a?

Want to try to split an order? Lowers the risk, but still high reward.

Yeah I would've been down to do that, but looks like shipping is no longer available.

Definitely didnt want to jump in here as I'm pretty new compared to all of you, but I just have to ask... who is the "Sellami" referenced here?

I received mine as well. All germinated and healthy potted them up today. Thank you!

I'll add my 2 cents to the discussion. Btw not sure I've tasted this variety or not, but it looks good.

The issue isn't just the chemical farming, it's also that they've been growing in these grove/orchard style monoculture row crop methods for far too long with the same genetics being grown. This creates super pest and pathogens able to withstand all of the pesticides, insecticides, germicides, fertilizers etc and these leach into our water tables and we all know what that brings..

The major problem here is that we used the same grafted varieties over and over and expected it to get better.

Maybe there should be some kind of benefit given by the states to farmers whom attempt growing from seed and/or polyculture. This benefits the entire industry. But that probably isn't going to happen. Not in our lifetime at least.

White sapote fruit came in looking good. Great packaging. Thank you!

Seeds were extremely fresh when I got them! Would buy again for sure. Hopefully they pop up soon!

Got mine! Thanks again Ryan! Good luck everyone on germination. I personally never tried to germinate these. I'll go with the cold stratification method and see what I get.
