Just got word these seeds came from Adam “flyingfoxfruits” the fruits that come from this are red and fruited for the first time this year. He didn’t get pictures. From the thickness of the cuttings he gave me the tree must be pretty big

I have learned to love my climate here in Bay Area CA. Cold enough to grow pawpaw and stone fruits but warm enough to grow starfruit outside. To me the challenge of being one of the first people to get tropical/rare things to grow here is fun. Mangos die super easy but there are people that have done it with proper care. Even heard of people getting Wax Jambu, lychee, black sapote to survive in micro climates but they do better in greenhouse. Eugenias seem to do great outside but a lot of stuff is borderline too cold. Stuff I’ve found will never get through winter without greenhouse is things like sugar apple, soursop “one of my favorite fruits “ Mamey sapote but green sapote has been known to survive. I’m excited to experiment with rare somewhat cold hardy annonas like globiflora,rugulosa, spinescens ect... Even in this sub tropical climate I still find my 10x12 greenhouse overfilled with tropicals. I’m 26 years old now and also hope to get property in Florida or other similar climate to fulfill my tropical obsession

Thank you for doing this

I have some large Sabaras that are not yet fruiting. Maybe 1 or 2 more years. I would love to graft scarlet scions or any more rare types onto them. Would be very happy to find peluda do mucuri “doctors jaboticaba”. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I want to buy myself present haha

Thank you for your offer. Lots of people are curious how kusura coccinea tastes. Have you tasted it? I’m also curious about Annona Spinescens. I know it has pumpkin flavor but is it also Annona flavor too?

I’m happy with my order. Thanks!

Any new information on this?

I’m in Hollywood area and I’m really hoping to find a public fruiting Inga to get a pod so I can eat and grow the seeds. I know of one in San Diego but I don’t plan on going that far. If any generous people would gift me a pod I would really appreciate that or I’d be willing to buy them too. I’d love to see a mature fruiting tree though

I’m also happy with my last order from you. Did you do anything special to sprout the diospyros lycioides? I’ve ordered seeds before and none ever sprouted.

I can see scamming from other side of world and claiming that the seeds got destroyed during shipping but doing it to somebody that knows where you live is pretty ballsy. Sounds like either lost track of transaction information or personal beef
