Hey TFF,

I was gifted these seeds from a friend so I’m selling them for around what they go for as seeds. They need to go into  bigger deeper pots than what they are in now as they will look better in no time but I have ran out of room with the cold weather here.  I can ship these 5 semi bare root together in a large flat rate USPS box for $19. If on the East Coast shipping will be cheaper using priority or ground shipping around $10. With semi bare root I just lightly knock off any loose media that the roots aren’t holding on too, add some damp coir, wrap in damp paper towel and then wrap in cling plastic wrap.  Send a PM if interested along with zip code for an exact shipping price. Payment with PayPal Friends and Family.

Thanks,

David

 I have available Psidium guineense Brazilian Guava small seedlings. The seeds were obtained from Rodolfo in Brazil which I’m pretty sure most of his fruiting plants are from Helton. The 3 vars are Morango aka Strawberry, Cerrado Araca de Cacho which is because it fruits in bunches like a cluster very prolific and the last one is from the Caatinga that has a Big Yellow Fruit. Pricing for seedlings is $3 each or 4 or more at $2 each.
Campomanesia guazumifolia small seedling in a 3”W 8” depth tree pot $8
Geonoma pauciflora small seedlings $8, this is a dwarf palm from low elevations in Bahia Brazil with fruits reported to taste like Açaí.
Eugenia punicifolia var Caatinga Round tip leaves semi bare-root $8 each or 2 for $12
Peanut Butter fruit sm seedling in tree pot $5
Add 5% for PayPal or 0% if sent using Friends and Family or cash pickup. I will get these plants to you guaranteed.

Any ? please let me know and have a great day, David https://www.ebay.com/itm/185880496804?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zGee3RFfQ0-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=zGee3RFfQ0-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have a large rare Ficus austrocaledonica that I need to get rid of, no room in the house this winter in NC. Seed obtained from Rare Palm Seeds back in 2012 and this is the form with red stipules, half were red and half were white out of the 24 or so seedlings. The fruit is reported to be edible but I don’t know how good it is.$10 plus actual shipping charge. If you live in Florida that was hit by hurricane Ian it is free just pay actual  shipping. I checked with Pirate Ship and UPS ground is $70 to FL for the big box.This is the biggest box I can find and I’m still going to have to trim it back before shipping and reinforcements of course.

Eugenia pisiformis seedling last one I’m selling. Uber rare and Sellami’s favorite sweet type Eugenia. Very ornamental too with silver sheen new leaves that unfold out in a T shape. This plant is about to flush out new growth right now. $130 includes USPS Priority shipping. I just saw one this size go for $160 plus shipping on eBay. If it doesn’t get bought by 9PM est Sunday the 28th it will put on eBay. Thanks and have a great day.

First 3 pictures of actual seedling. Fruit pic from seed supplier Sellami. Last pic is younger to show the silver new growth.

Hey Myrtaceae Maniacs I have my last Eugenia pisiformis that I’m willing to let go on a raffle on the Myrtaceae Mania on Band.
 
I have heard some hobbyists on here say that some very rare species are priced so high that they are unobtainable, well I can’t do anything about that it’s just supply and demand but I can do a raffle at $5 a spot with 36 spots. Just 1 germinated seed retails for around $160 from Seedshunter the only source of this species outside of Brazil that I know of. Any ? please ask on the Band group. Thank you.
