I bought 6 seeds from http://www.theseedybusiness.com.  One seed germinated. May not be their fault for the low germination rate, we'll never know.

I had 1 germinate as well out of 6, the others molded and died :(. 1 is better then none especially since its so hard to find!
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Not if you want fruit ; at least I will see how the vine will perform in my climate. Might have to send you some pollen or vice-versa when we know what sex our plants are.

eh you guys need to soak them 24 hours.  I have gotten ten seeds from Jesse Blenne three years ago, took a month to get here from costa rica.  Soak it 24 hours & 100% germination, now I got to worry about rodents do to habitat destruction from the dike canal construction bordering my development wiping out oaks & native plants!😡

I contacted 'theseedybusiness'. They do not have seeds now. Any body else I can try? It would be a big help, as I am returning to India on May15th.

I sometimes get seeds but none at present. They don't like too much water / wet feet. Plant in the drip line of a bigger tree and let it climb - they are massive but in the same way as Saba spp. The local farmers claim a small seed turns into male, a big into female - not sure if there is a scientic backup on that.
