Hey whats up? Ive been trying to find different raspberries or just any berries in the rubus species to grow in the Deltona area and it seems like the only raspberry that grows here in Central FL is the rubus niveus "mysore".  I recently got 2 different ones that can take heat and dont need chill hours. First picture is himalayan golden raspberry (rubus ellipticus) and the second one is Atherton raspberry. I bought em in August, both seems to take the heat just fine and both have quadruple in size, no kidding, got pics for proof. Got a lot of hope in those 2. I also have a tayberry thats been doing ok and recently got a boysenberry. Lmk what you got going and any opinion. I do have blackberry, doing great.

Ok Im trying to start with herbs, veggies and spices. I am looking for :

Pandan
Panadol plant
Vicks plant
Iboza
Moujean tea
Tea tree
Sweet aztec herb
Epazote
Sacha inchi
Hoja santa

I can buy or got a few things to trade with.
Sugarlata seedling
Abiu seedling
Spiral ginger
Yautia blanca
Dragonfruit cuttings

Looking for golden himalayan raspberry /rubus ellipticus plant, no seed. Ill buy or trade. Really really really want the plant. Im trying different raspberries in Florida and so far Australian Atherton raspberry is doing great even in this heat.
