The Tropical Fruit Forum

I'll likely be reaching out to you here soon. Figure out if we can do business together. I would do the shipping and I'd assume you do the hosting on your site. Will be both live plants/cuttings/rhizomes and seeds. Are you ready to start up here soon?

Does anyone in the states have a rhizome of this to buy or trade for?

Thanks! DG

Are you into other seeds besides fruit? There are times that I harvest thousands of seeds for various herbs and veggies. As an example I probably harvested in the realm of 10-20k roselle seeds this past year. Sold quite a lot already but still have thousands upon thousands. As an experienced gardener and seed saver I know when seeds are ready and viable or not just looking at them. Everything completely done by hand on my own land. Never resale anything. I wouldn't mind the recognition on a site like you propose but it's not 100% necessary for me. If you bought a big lot they are now yours as far as I'm concerned and you can market them therefore however you prefer. The transparency of where everything came from and such too isn't a bad idea though and would help get exposure for someone like myself that now lives entirely off my homestead endeavors. I need as much exposure and furthermore sales as I can find at this time. Mouths to feed, bills, and ducks, turkeys, rabbits, chickens, and other animals as well to feed. Perhaps even cows here soon we hope.

Anyways let me know what all you want to offer. I harvest everything from culinary herbs, wild medicinal herbs, wild traditional veggies like poke sallet, chickasaw plum seeds, American persimmon seeds, etc, etc. If you expand into dried products I even forage turkey tail mushrooms, chanterelles, and such too. If I can atleast get large quantities of my seeds out there to people who want to grow them that's all that matters. More useful species in more places being grown with purpose is the real food and medicine security our world needs right now.

Never got a pm from you. Try again whenever.

If you have any rooted plants after everyone else is served let me know what you got. We could probably trade or whatever if I have anything you want.

Lots of chaya cuttings available. Split leaf and maple leaf chaya. Both are edible cooked. Maple leaf is probably best for eating but the split leaf flowers and attracts butterflies. 3 cuttings for $6 plus applicable shipping.

Still got bunches of these available. Hit me up!

I got ya man. Not sure there's tubers under them now but can at least send you the plant parts.

That's an interesting plant. Hadn't heard of this before. Hope you find some.

Ark Herb Farm I believe is in Costa Rica. They might have kava but if not lots of other cool species including entheogenic species.

See that this place was already mentioned now. Hope you found some kava for your gardens.

I've got raja puri bananas. After our huge freeze this year they are pretty beat up. Hopefully a few nice pups will come up this spring. If they do I can send off a few.

I would like an order please

Send me a pm whenever you are ready

How do these taste when cooked?

They really don't taste too far off a white potato when roasted. An ever so slight hint of minty flavor but very minute. At the base of a cutting you'll get one larger tuber or a few decent sized tubers and lots of tiny ones in most cases. I've had them form egg sized tubers in a 4 inch pot but the more space you give them is better. Usually if kept in a small pot like that you'll just get a bunch of smaller tubers. Can be anywhere from one large with a few small to 2-10 small tubers. Most will be around marble sized if kept in small containers.

Spiderwort plants available for sale or trade. 5 live plants for $7 plus applicable shipping charges. Spiderwort is edible but it's also a pretty blue purplish flower that bees really love. Good ornamental in a flower bed too. Perennial and cold hardy though it may freeze down above zone 7-8. Hit me up!

Thanks! DG
