Mocambo aka the jaguar chocolate fruit (Theobroma bicolor) and its seeds are still rarely offered on the web. Wish more people would grow it and offer the fresh seeds. Currently a typical mocambo seed could easily fetch as much as 5 times (or more) the price of a “common” cacao seed. Anyone from Hawaii or Puerto Rico willing to help the folks in the contiguous 48 states get access to the fruits/seeds of the marvelous mocambo?!? :-D
Is it really five time per cacao seed? Maybe on etsy that would be the case?! ha ha ha. If I get, the seed I'll usually sell around a buck a piece. Fruit can't be shipped to mainland (idk about Puerto Rico...different rules compared to Hawaii re: shipping to mainland). Cupuassu, we have them here, but not super common. I can only think of 5-6 guys that have it fruiting. But i'm sure there are more growing here and there in the islands.

Sorry I meant t. bicolor / mocambo I wasn’t impressed with
