The Tropical Fruit Forum

Looking to purchase spanish lime, or as my wife calls them, mamones.  I want ones that areally grafted, sor I know I am getting a male and female, double grafted on one plant would be optimal.  Does anyone on herequest sell that or know where to purchase.

My wife was born in Nicaragua and lived there until 5, when she moved to NYC.  When she lived there her favorite fruit was jocote.  Hard to find, but, I finally got one.  I want to general what is it's general hardiness.   I have a large vaulted ceiling that leads to my backyard, so, I could keep it potted.  But, would prefer to plant with protection if possible.

When I lived in Hampton, VA, zone 8a, I got the bug for cold hardy citrus.  With the helping of Gaylord in VA Beach, I was amassing a very nice colection.  I had changsha mandarine and a limequat in the ground.  I had keraji madarin, satsuma mandarin, bloomsweet, clem yuzu, Sanbokan lemon, ichang lemons in pots and was scoping for places to plant them in my yard.  If I could have found kishu mandarin in VA, I would have been a very happy camper.
Well, life did a turn around and after 7 years in VA, I left for AZ in 2012.  I had to leave all my citrust behind and start a new.  I was so invested in this point in cold hardy citrus, that I wanted to regrow all my favorite's out.  To my great sadness , I quickly found out only kishu mandarin and owari satsuma mandarin could be purchased in AZ.
So, over the past 5 years, I started a one man campaign to beg wherever I could to get or pay for the remaining trees through seeds.
One note is that I decided to leave out limequat and ichang lemon.
Well, I am happy to report that I am almost whole again.  With my clem yuzu and keraji recently sprouting, and from the past couple years, I know have the complete list.. ..except for bloomsweet.

So that leads me to a question, should I just up on bloomsweet?  Unlike all the other citrus I listed, I have never actually tried a bloomsweet.  Was growing it mostly for cold hardiness.
I have heard mixed reviews on the flavor of bloomsweet, with some saying it is insipid.  Also, I have seen some interesting grapefruit seeds on ebay for some sweet grapefruit and thought maybe I should just give them a try.
Any recommendations?

Looking to buy either seeds or preferably seedling of spondias purpurea. Apparently,  it was my wife's favorite fruit when she lived in nicaragua.   If there is a dwarf variety, even better, as it will have to stay potted.

Looking for fruit of thsee varieties that should be ripening soon.  These are some of my favorite citrus, and I have not been able to eat them since I moved to AZ.  Would also use the seeds to try to grow some seedlings.  Will pay for the citrus and shipping.  Would greatly appreciate any help.

Looking seedling that can be shipped to AZ.  Hopefully, maybe a good variety.
