Found a listing on Ebay for a live plant Myrica rubra - Red Bayberry - Live Plant https://ebay.us/sSd70U

Looks like someone in Florida.  I'd bid but I'm in California,

Fruit trees can be shipped to Cali from Florida, FYI. You could have bid on that myrica rubra.

Good to know, well I wouldn't have paid $175 anyhow.  Wonder if it's someone here that won the auction.
Another plant went for $127.50

270$.. wow just WOW. LOL. Go to the Walmart website and order some For 10 a pop. That’s where I bought mine at least (last year). They come in lil dinky 1/10 gallon pots though.. I think labeled as ‘bonsai’ but not really. Bought 2 and 1 died, the other is doing just fine under a mulberry tree. Also bought seeds from China but they were old dead bs that never sprouted

Many of us have been hunting these bush/trees for years, if Walmart had true specimens of this online someone would have posted it awhile ago. There are none currently listed on the website to even check and see if its the real thing or. Aside from rare fruit nurseries here and there that sell them for stupidly high prices, no seedlings have made it to the States for commercial sale. I think there have been a few individuals who have bulk ordered seeds and gotten one or two to actually sprout but you rarely hear from them again on the subject since they literally are growing a gold mine.

Never understood why we don't  have these prolific trees here like any other fruiting tree. We can find durian and they are nasty as hell with a super limited range. Hell, I can jump on ebay and find rambutan and they don't even grow them outdoors in FL. But something like the M. Rubra that should have no issues pretty much anywhere in FL, isn't available.

You know what, my bad, I had bought arbutus unedo seedlings not Murcia rubra.. My apologies, similar though..
And yes the arbutus are out of stock anyway..

I had so much fun reading through all 10 pages of this thread. I am wondering anyone's seedling or imported tree is fruiting?

Yeaaaaahhhhhh buddddy!!! Congrats Shane!! Great job. Very, very cool. Male tree needed to pollinate right? Maybe start looking for a flowering male M. Californica or M. Caroliniensis.

Thanks :) I've been telling my family and friends but their eyes glaze over.

Yes, I guess is should find a male. I know a nursery that has M. Californica. Will check them out.

Hi Shane, super nice! I have a spare M. Californica if you need it. it's in a 5G pot that you can pick up for free (SD).

No it's still small (2 ft tall) and there is no flower yet. are you sure that it can pollinate Yangmei?

Congratulations Shane,

Since it’s a seedling, there’s a chance it could also produce male flowers since the real Biqi is supposed to produce both flowers if I recall correctly. Please keep us updated!

Exciting to see seedlings starting to produce. Pretty soon we’ll be able to trade these.

DongKui is the one that’s supposed to also produce male flowers, but I never see any on mine.
I’ve seen male cerifera and californica male fruits though.

Wow! very nice, how is this doing? any sign of both sexes? How old is it? It looks like it is in the ground, yes?

Just got this seed packet from trade winds. They recommend cold stratification by first placing in the fridge for 8-12 weeks, then toss in the garbage 'cause it ain't gonna work. Just kitten 😹 they say to then sow and if nothing happens after several weeks, toss 'em back in the fridge, pour a Scotch on the Rocks, and start over again. Sounds reasonable?

My calmei are coming up pretty nicely. Lost probably 5-10 sprouts to a rat but luckily had more to still pop. I didn’t do anything special just put seeds into soil. Didn’t even clean them honestly.

I've got some seeds coming up in my usual style of sprouting subtropicals. Sealed tupperware on heatmat with moist coco coir.  Surprised I didn't need any cold stratification, but only a couple germinants so far.

I didn't see a sign of life at all from July-ish or whenever you sent me the fruit till around January. The roots are super stout if you pull one up.
