Hi guys I found a single tree among hundreds yellow ones who sets orange color fruit of excellent taste, the taste is kinda in your face very sweet with a nice tart ending, flesh is a darker tone of yellow than the regular one and also a bit more firm, the skin is also harder and don't get soft as the regular one which makes me think due to this it could be excellent for commercial uses as has long shelves life with no bruising
Price is 4 usd plus 11 shipping, add 2 usd if using permit.
My PayPal is raulglezruiz@gmail.com please WRITE DOWN YOUR ORDER AND ADDRESS in the PayPal message box, and I'll comeback to you with tracking number, if using permit SPECIFY in the PayPal message box otherwise it could go without it and won't be my fault

I'm interested in 10 seeds as part of a group order if the importer or 3rd party won't mind shipping to FL (I'll pay that shipping as well).

I'll hop in on a group order for 5 seeds if possible. Thanks.

I've found filing a permit has been super easy and quick for me. Matter of fact I received some Large Luc's seed today from Raul.
When I amended my current Small Lot seeds permit, PPQ-587, it was a late saturday night. It was approved like an hour later.

No harm in giving it a shot.

hammer524, how long did your seeds sit in customs? I have always wondered if there is some extra hold for known-plant inspection or if they just stamp it through and don't even open.

hammer524 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:55:45 PM »

Raul shipped the seeds to me May 19th and they arrived today. Customs checks the contents and leaves a note.

Not sure how long it "sits" in custom. My guess would be 2 or 3 weeks. Ive learned to not follow the tracking info too heavily because it usually takes a while to get out of mexico and then goes through customs. Besides Mexico other countries, like Australia, I would say its along the same lines of a month.

brian · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:58:55 PM »

Thanks. I know that achachairu seeds are good for a very long time so I suspect lucs is similar. I would be worried on a month delay for the more recalcitrant seeds, though

They last for moths without losing much viability.

Australia? Anyone selling from there? Been itching to get my hands on some Russell's Sweet Garcinia seeds or plant.

A testament to the hardiness of these seeds

These are seedlings from seeds I bought from Raul. Not sure if they got stuck in customs but they were out in transit for 8 months

🤣🤣🤣 Yes they are bulletproof I forgot seeds in a bag for over a year and when I opened they were fine with two inches stem,, they were about 25 seeds in a small zip lock bag

I can confirm that Luc's seeds from Raul have germinated, with a high rate, after 1 year in the package that Raul sent them in. Excellent seller and very hardy seeds.

A ripe, fragrant fruit with a highly praised delicious taste, the seeds of which could survive in moist coco coir for a year and still be viable? Sounds like a winner in my book...👍

roblack · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2023, 12:45:34 PM »

Orangey Luc's arrived today after about a month in transit. Looking very good. Thank you Raul, your efforts have enhanced many gardens and collections. Salud!

not only be viable but sprouted and become little plants inside the bag about 3/4 Inches high, and stay there for about a year, amazing
