every once in a while, i get some nice fan mail...

people just don't realize I can't handle every order, and respond to every email.

some requests end up being too much trouble to fill, so I pick the course that presents the least resistance, and most profit.  (remember, I have no employees, and this is my full-time profession)

I may not respond to every email, and I may even respond, then get sidetracked and forget to continue correspondence....

BUT once I take someone's money (receive payment), I am always prompt with correspondence....I never take someone's money, or send them an invoice, and then leave them in the dark.


here is an example of an angry customer, I started a correspondence for a small order of Plinia seeds, and it fell by the wayside...

"I thought u were more professionnal…

Keep ur seeds and I will keep my money …

I will just go on forums to give my advise on flying fox fruit seriousness…

I just asked for payment… never seen it before…

I will try an other company for my jaboticaba’s rare seeds."
People also forget how much time it takes to clean and pack seeds well then theres getting to the post office. And theres still all the plants to care for....
You wont die if you have to wait for seeds and you can always try again guys! Adams seeds are definitly woth the patience:) Or you can go buy badly packed rotten seeds form a smooth talking money grabber.
For me its correspondence after money changes hands that counts.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

C'mon folks.   What's an extra month?   Some of these things don't fruit until years later anyway!?!

It's worth the wait for stuff from Adam - always professional and his stuff invariably grows (most times!  ;))

So what seeds do you have available at this time Adam?

Sam

Flying Fox on Facebook? Really??

They'll have a hard time finding Plinia and Jaboticaba seeds elsewhere... ::)
I haven't bought from you yet, because I know you are busy. And the species on my list are ones you may not sell seeds/etc of yet. But in the mean time, I gaze at the trees you post on your fb page!

Adam may get sidetracked, hell I ;D'm waiting for an invoice right now for seeds, but just give him an occasional reminder and he'll get to it. What someone said about these things take weeks to germinate then years to fruit is spot on. Have a little patience folks, you are not going to find many reliable sources like FFF.

I forgot my vow to never join FB!! thanks for the reminder Jonah!  :P

here is why i finally broke down and joined...

I figured there is a whole crowd of users on FB, who don't engage in the TFF, so I'm infiltrating the enemy platform, to push my tropical fruit agenda on the world, via any means necessary  :P.  I have been steadily trying to spread the word about TFF....which is so much better in many regards when compared to FB (which is like walmart...where u can't talk to the owners, and they consolidate all the ma and pa businesses into one big box store)...TFF is like a ma and pa store to me...the admins/mods are real people, not a faceless corp.

The only thing I like about FB, is I can post all sorts of off topic stuff that isn't allowed here....but the fact that off topic stuff isn't allowed here, is why I love the tropical fruit forum.


Zuckerberg can suck my fingersop!  >:(

Happy thanksgiving to all!  :)

Hi Adam,

I'd like to know the pricing on your plants of achachairu, lemon drop mangosteen and miracle fruit.
The hardest plants to grow are often those most worth growing.
