Great plants, wish I had the room for some of them! Especially the green sapote. Alas, I don’t have the room right now.Just one thing, the Theobroma Grandiflorum does not produce a white chocolate. Yes, the seeds are white, like with some cacao varieties, but the process to make chocolate (namely, roasting and fermenting) turns the seeds brown. The chocolate from Grandiflorum is more like a smooth milk chocolate, getting a milky flavor rather than a white color from the white beans.
I bought a green sapote from you after looking for one for 2 years, hope that it arrives safe and sound.Any chance you are going to start selling seeds as well?
Do you sell grafted plants?
I have been sticking to a promise this summer not to buy any more plants, because I have far too many. You are making it really hard to keep to that pledge. A couple of those Psidiums would look really good in my collection. I am just not sure I have anything in my collection rare enough to trade for them though.
My green sapote arrived today without a scratch. Like RGVgardener, I've been waiting two years to acquire a seedling. Thank you.

I have germinated some Nauclea xanthoxlyon and Nauclea latifolia, although I had trouble getting them through seedling stage. Seems like they wanted more nutrition then I was giving them at the time. Definitely wanna try again!

Seems like they wanted more nutrition then I was giving them at the time. Definitely wanna try again!When the seedlings have just germinated, they are very fragile and easy to kill. It took me a couple of tries to get them through that period; I killed all my germinated seedlings the first time I tried to grow any Naucleas. I have found that keeping the humidity relatively high is the key to getting them past their fragile, early period. Mine are about 6" tall now. I am not sure whether I have fertilized them yet, but I do not think so. They seem quite happy right now, though. Now that I have a few seedlings, I am not going though the effort of germinating any more Nauclea xanthoxylons. I might try getting some N. latifolia seeds at some point in the future.
