The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hi All,

We have some great Surinam cherries this year. I am setting seeds from the Black Star cultivar for $2/each + shipping. Not all of the ones in the picture are perfectly ripe as they are a deep red when ripe. They have a very nice sweetness. Anyway, please reach out if you have any other questions!

Hey All,

I am the chair of our local CRFG San Diego chapter. I am looking for people who have chosen to specialize in specific fruiting plant varieties to be speakers at our monthly meetings, either in person or on Zoom (7pm PST, 4th Wednesday of the month). It is a great way to market your knowledge, brand and what you sell online AND help us Southern California fruit nerds learn more about growing cool cultivars/species. Please reach out to our club email if interested, crfgsd@gmail.com. Please use the header Speaker Request if you can so we can easily sort the emails. Have a great week!

Updated 1/7/2023: Kecil a wax jambu that originates from Frankie's Nursery in Hawaii. It is an aromatic, semi sweet jambu with a slight red blush on the end of ripened fruit. It is a very productive variety that sets two crops per year in San Diego.
$6/scion or 5 for $25 as this is a very hard to find variety. I won't sit on them for more than a week before putting them in soil to grow out for Spring.

Anyone growing it here?

Hi All,

I've been quite busy so I haven't had time to post in a while. I stopped at my neighbor's place and chatted about what is fruiting right now and what we want to offer. Remember there is a $20 minimum and that I process orders on Sundays and Mondays. Shipping costs will be calculated after orders are placed. Have a great week everyone!

Hi All,

I am helping a neighbor to move an abundance of seeds. In order to make this a smooth process I will respond to order requests every Sunday, confirm order if enough seeds are available, and collect, clean and pack seeds, . There is a $20 minimum (plus shipping). Shipping normally runs about $8-12 per envelope unless it is much lighter, heavier or is going somewhere far. Shipping for plants is variable and will be calculated upon order confirmation (you can specify the speed at which you would like to be shipped items). No international shipping. If you live in San Diego, you can specify local pickup to save on shipping. Only shipping within the US. Thanks!
