How does your number of varieties keep increasing? Do you have trees of all of these, but didn't offer them all at first?

I have additional properties I had not yet visited, so didn't want to offer from those--especially since they're at a distance. I made the trip finally.

The ones listed as "coming soon" was varieties I have acquired, but they've not yet fruited. Good sources, but I cannot in good conscience sell scions from something which hasn't produced for me yet.

You'll also see the list grow more in the future, as I am on a mission to collect every known variety I can find.

We are looking at a centralized acreage to go Loqo-crazy with.

Be aware that Golden Nugget scions were placed on sale.

I will do even better on them for those buying in bulk.

Have thousands available.

Awesome news. Can't wait to see it all in your garden.

Great vid, and thanks for the shout out.

We finally caught up to the immense amount of orders we had accumulated.

At this point, there should no longer be a 2-3 day delay in processing.

A huge shipment of orders went out today. Next batch is going to start including orders with ungrafted trees followed by grafted which have started a second flush.

I never anticipated the amount of demand. Still got plenty left. Bring it on!

I wasn't gonna do it. Someone begged me to though.

I did it . . . for now. Zesty is available for a limited time.

I will probably have the grafted plants for this one available in a limited window soon as well.

11 more new varieties have been acquired on my end. I may be able to offer those next year as well. Fingers crossed. For some, I was only able to obtain 1 small scion, we shall see.

Received my seeds and fruit earlier this week; everything was super well packed! The ice packs did their best to preserve the cold. Fruit was still tasty even if melted by the time it got here. Not many things can withstand the AZ heat

Thank you again Adam for all the advice and plethora of information. Can't wait to get these seeds going!

Sze Ying, very glad everything went well. Got to love the scorching blaze that is Arizona. Hope all of your seeds make the best progress.

Pro tip: Grab some polymer root gel from Lowe's. Works the best at rooting seeds. Well, unless you have a hydroponics system.

Our attempts at the end of the season to ship frozen fruit was successful. We are proud to announce we will be fully prepared to ship fruit from all of the varieties next harvest.

Viking Guy · « **Reply #66 on:** May 20, 2020, 04:24:31 AM »

Mercy, it is like Christmas wrapping every night. Trees and scions on the move.

Everyone, just a heads up.

We had to rebrand our name from AKME Edibles to AKME Gardens.

I had shipments confiscated/stolen/destroyed (which I promptly resent to customers at NO charge), due to the sender name being AKME Edibles. At checkpoints, apparently this leads inspectors to believe the package contains foods laced with illegal substances.

Selling online has been a whole new experience for me. Learning a lot.

Either way, AKME Gardens is now in effect as of today. All of our online portfolios should start rolling over throughout the week, including facebook and payment services. This will not apply to any current orders made prior to 5/20. Would have been ever funnier if we made this change on 4/20.

Wow! Now we know what happened! How many packages did this happen to?
Thanks again for resending!

14. The agent which called me says the one they seized wasn't opened. It was sent to be incinerated based on the suspicion alone and the scanner revealed plant parts. He did not know what a scion was.

You must have a grafted tree? Very glad we are still waiting for those final buds to pop (no pun intended).
