Keeping doing what you do Hapa Joe!

SouthBayHapaJoe, one thing that might be helpful in your great descriptions would be tree size, if known. With space always being at a premium, one of the first things I look for is tree size when reading about fruit trees (also frost/freeze tolerance). Do you happen to know the tree size of all the Pouteria species you encountered? Obviously soil and growing conditions affect size, but having a sense of potential size would, I think, be helpful. Thanks!
Giant Gecko:
Wow amazing expedition Joe. Duguetia stenantha seed at $6 is an incredible deal. I wish I had some ideal land to cultivate that species. Sounds like it fruits fast enough that a variety with even less seeds can be selected for the next generations.
Bush2Beach:
Yes Joe! Keep up the good works with the right vibez.
Real talk. Not everyone love’s bushwacking and lack of creature comforts.
If your not in humble appreciation of the locals and instead treat people like your valet at the four seasons you should get spit out and rejected from a place , there are various manners.
Being guided by locals through their homelands and trying to make money off their native plants, that is not going to please anyone. Indigenous folks have nuff awareness of the conquistador mentality of come and take and not give thanks.
Hey I wonder whatever happened to the guy that was auctioning germinated seeds for $200-$300 a piece and asked you to pay a flat rate for the right to be in the special whale club to bid on his private auction?
Maximum respect out to Joe.

Love him or hate him if it wasn’t for that guy we might not have the 4 or so great seed sources we have now in the USA. Do you know how much he gave back to the community where he collected the seeds? Let us know if you do. From what I have read on Facebook seems like most of the collectors down there in Brazil respect him.
