that orange annona is spinescens.

 Its not spinescens for sure. Im growing spinescens and the leaf structure and growth habit is different.

Isn’t it a smaller tree also? Dwarf?

No shipping for the smaller plants?💔

I don’t want any leaves or anything to end up making their dogs sick, considering all parts of theobroma affect them

Will you guys do another order next year? Gotta give my self time to prepare to take care of them as I hear they’re hard to grow

Has anyone else’s seeds ben. Through multiple different facilities in the past month? As in over 8, it’s like they’re traveling everywhere in fl, right beside me, then to Miami, then back to me, etc etc

Where can I get eugenia klotzschiana seeds or seedlings?

Broadening my search for “fruit trees” that grow well in pots, I’m looking for uncommon/ rare fruiting shrubs, so far the only fruiting shrub (or tree that can be grown as a shrub) I have is Psidium myrtoides(supposedly sweet)

Yeah, I’m gonna keep it in small pots for few years and forget about it, hopefully in the next few years I stumble across it and it has flowers or something. Other than annonas, I think I’m gonna scrap my seedlings like lychee and sapodilla, and just buy grafted ones.

I plan to keep it in a pot, but becuase it takes so many years (which I can’t remember) to bear fruit, I’ve been neglecting it and keeping it in a small pot. I want a jaboticaba but I’m not sure which are the best tasting, fastest fruiting, and grow well in pots

Is the purple flesh and purple skin one the same thing?

Sorry if this shouldn’t be discussed here, I won’t name anyone, I don’t want to start any problems. To break this down in the simplest way possible, Bought a plant from a seller here, seller ships plant with bamboo stick in pot, bamboo stick literally churns up the root system of the plant in shipping, plant dies 7 days later, before plant died asked seller for advice to save it, followed sellers advice, plant obviously still died. Seller insist I send him the plant back to get my refund, I say sure, but it’s dead already. He asked if I used fertilizer (why would I use fertilizer on a rare tree seedling?) I say no, I did nothing to the plant. He says he’s gonna “test the soil”.

 He sends me instructions to get a return slip. No return slip link on my PayPal activity page for the money I sent. Decided to dispute with PayPal. I tell him I did. He sends me my money back, ask me to never buy from his store again, then blocks me, after that he unblocks to tell me I killed the tree then blamed it on the bamboo stake, and then insists that I added fertilizer to the pot and killed the plant (which I didn’t) ( and who’s stopping him from adding fertilizer to the pot when I ship him the plant and he just, you know, lies about it? It’s a lose lose for me)

I had firmly agreed to return the plant, yet he states I didn’t want to return the plant, (which explains why I supposedly added fertilizer to a tiny pot with a tiny rare SEEDLING that is extremely sensitive for god knows what reason?)

Funny enough, he tells me good luck etc etc and if I had a problem on the first day I should said something instead of a week later. It’s funny considering I did say something and he left me on read FOUR WHOLE DAYS.

Now tell me, based on what you’ve read. Am I just some bad person, or did I have valid reasons for wanting my refund? I have visual proof, and screenshots of every step of our conversations. Every single message, the dates, everything. I’ve learned to keep track of stuff like that from sellers who’d act like certain things weren’t said etc.

I don’t want any bad blood from anyone, I got a damaged product, I got my money back. There no issue. What I don’t want is a tarnished reputation and ending up being blacklisted by other sellers because I’m the guy who “kills his trees and blamed the seller” I’d rather not have that. Thank you for reading.

I’m making a list of all the plants I want to grow in pots, and it’s looking hefty. I realize it’s mostly just trees, so I’d like a list of good shrub fruits that are just haves in Florida
