Aganonerion polymorphum (Apocynaceae) - la giang, soursop creeper, riverleaf, from Vietnam

9th season mature plants, all seed grown (no clones)
$15+ ship (Ebay sellers have live plants listed at $40-50/ea)
Plants ship from Birmingham, Alabama in a 2-gal pot

This vining shrub from Vietnam produces attractive, edible leaves that give a tart flavor that resembles a loquat fruit. The leaves are added to Vietnamese pho to give a pleasantly tart kick. Plants are easy to maintain, thriving in partial sun with moderate moisture. In cooler climates, they go semi-dormant in the winter and are easily pruned and overwintered indoors. These can be propagated from cuttings, but all of mine are from seed I germinated in April of 2016. Professional obligations force me to downsize my tropical ethnobotanicals. I have seven plants in total, two to keep for myself, and five to share with others who appreciate edible and medicinal plants.

I have (13) 5th year Anonidium mannii (junglesop) saplings available. These were germinated in the Fall of 2019. Recent life changes force me to downsize, so this is an opportunity to get a huge head start on cultivating this rare and interesting tropical fruit from the jungles of equatorial Africa. These are presently in tall, narrow tree starting pots and are in need of repotting. They are otherwise growing well despite the constraints.

Price $35 USD each + shipping. I get good rates.
Location: Birmingham, Alabama, USA

Should there in be interest in most of or the entire lot, I may be willing to travel some distance to facilitate the exchange.
