Tropical Fruit > Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade
Does anyone want to split the cost (and seeds) of some rare African species?
UnicornEmily:
I discovered this Etsy seller today. He has a bunch of seeds of rare edible plants that are native to Ghana, where he lives. He even has a YouTube channel with videos about how to germinate and grow the plants.
The cost of the seeds is high -- which makes sense, because he buys a phytosanitary certificate and he's sending internationally. But the cost becomes way cheaper per seed if you buy a whole lot.
I live in zone 7, so I'm really "pushing the zone" to try to grow zone 10 plants, even in a greenhouse. Someone in zone 10 (or willing to grow tropical trees as houseplants) is likely to have a much easier time growing these species . . . which would be beneficial to me, because if I fail and they succeed, I could buy seeds from them later. ;)
Would anyone else in the USA like to buy some seeds from that seller together, and split the cost and the seeds? As far as I'm concerned, the more people who want to do this the better, because the more people who try, the more likely someone is to succeed and then be able to share seeds with others in this community later. ;D
These are the rare species I personally want:
Diocoreophyllum cumminsii
Thaumatococcus daniellii
I've also decided I've gotta try this landrace of bamabara beans:
Vigna subterranea
I'm also mildly interested in this one:
Uvaria chamae
And he has loads of other interesting things that may catch your eye, including a lot of Ghanan landraces of beans.
Anyone interested?

Could you link the shop again? Your link isn’t working for some reason.

Shop link is https://www.etsy.com/shop/Jibrilenterprisegh (if you right click and select or inspect the HTML you can grab the URLs - they are formatted improperly for the forum markup).
I would be interested in getting Dioscoreophyllum cumminsii seeds.

Jibril is a fabulous seller- and a Member of this Forum-
Order with confidence, he does phytos and is generous-
reach out to him about ordering multiple seeds, he can combine phyto and shipping costs usually which brings the price down a lot-
If you are getting an Order I would get Annona senegalensis and Annona stenophylla seed
