Hello!I ordered some Herrania Sp fruit about a week ago. Are the trees fruiting now? I wanted to make sure that my order wasn't forgotten about because I haven't gotten the shipping confirmation yet. Thank you so much for offering these cool fruits. How long does it usually take to ship out the fruit, I do plan on getting some theobroma too when they come out on the store?Thanks,-Jake
For how much do you list them?
Crazy prices. $135 for a Cempedak, $150 for a marang. A pedalai is not worth $75. I ate these fruits for a dollar or less in Borneo and the Philippines.

Not comparable.

Not comparable.I understand his complaint, it’s valid, anything more than a few dollars for a fruit seemed crazy to me before. But if I was selling these fruits for what people wanted and made no money to support myself, no one would help me off the streets either. I would recommend anyone to go to these areas or grow these fruits out instead of buying them from me unless you’re looking to try a fruit straight to your door you normally wouldn’t get

I would sell for much cheaper if I could.
If you don't want it don't buy it! Plain and simple. Don't complain about price you don't understand. You cannot get this fruit otherwise. This is a premium service. And the demand is also very high. In that regard his prices are reasonable. I support this special business model. It brings you an incredible experience from the jungle right to your door. Many people are more than happy to pay for that.
I simply gave my opinion, I did not complain. I could buy the fruit if I wanted but I wouldn’t, as I’ve had my fill in their native regions. There are others who sell the same fruits , frozen, at a more reasonable price. Some of you people are insane
