Hi All,

The Beaumont macadamia trees are full of nuts. In addition to processing airlayer orders right now(list is pretty full right now but can take requests + a small deposit ($) for each airlayer that will be put on the trees come February/March) I am collecting lots of fresh nuts. Seeds will be priced by volume (not including shipping):

1-10 nuts: $2/each
10-100 nuts: $1.75/each
100+ nuts $1.50/each



PayPal Note: PayPal is charging 3.49% (on total, including any taxes invoiced as well as shipping which makes no sense at all to me) + $0.49 on each transaction. I will be including these fees in the buyers invoice as I cannot eat them with my low margins. I also will not be including CA sales tax (7.75% that I report to the state) in the base price for my seeds/scions. So, expect higher invoiced prices on all transactions done through PayPal. I hate doing this and am open to other ways of doing sustainable online sales. If you are local and are paying in person, disregard this PayPal fee. Thanks!

Broken down:
$10 Item
 +7.75% CA Sales Tax
=$10.78
 +$5 Shipping (No CA Sales Tax)
=$15.78
 +3.49% Overall PayPal Percentage-Based Fee
 +$0.49 Flat PayPal Fee
=$16.33 Final Invoiced Total

If interested please message me with an address and email to send the invoice to. Have a great week all.

Will be cutting scions this next week. Please PM me for placing orders! Thanks.

Hey Dan,

If you are still looking for Black Sapote I can give you my neighbor's number. He is always growing up seedlings from his trees. I have tasted his fruits. They are pretty good. Some trees produce sweeter ones. I also have small black sapote seedlings. The mother fruits from this tree aren't as good as my neighbor's but I am growing them up for rootstock.

Hey SD Dan,

PM me. There are not many fruits left on the tree at the moment but I will see what I can do. I will try to grab some more fruits either on Sunday or Monday.

I am not selling fruit by the pound. I am selling fruits for $2/each in order to get the freshest seeds to those who want to grow them. Each fruit has 1-3 seeds in it so its a good deal if you want seeds.

I grew these AeAe bananas from a small corm. They were delicious.

Are you still growing them? What are they similar to in terms of other banana varieties?

'Pisang Ceylon' is a type of Mysore banana, and is regarded by many expert banana connoisseurs as their favorite tasting variety, in part because it has those fruity tropical flavors they are looking for.

I'm growing one in zone 10 California and it is doing great.

I am in San Diego, if you ever have pups I would be willing to buy some off of you or trade for something.

Fresh Jocote berries are also available as they are fruiting now.

I just sent out several batches of seeds and am now out of stock. I will be collecting more in two weeks (around November 28th). Ordering ahead of time will expedite the shipping process so the seeds don't sit on the counter longer than necessary. I am also willing to ship a fruit or two along with your order

Maybe buddyroo can help.

Updated 1/7/2023: Kecil a wax jambu that originates from Frankie's Nursery in Hawaii. It is an aromatic, semi sweet jambu with a slight red blush on the end of ripened fruit. It is a very productive variety that sets two crops per year in San Diego.
$6/scion or 5 for $25 as this is a very hard to find variety. I won't sit on them for more than a week before putting them in soil to grow out for Spring.

Which varieties are you looking for? I know someone in our local CRFG who has a ton of varieties.

Good idea. I could dehydrate some items to send overseas
