The Tropical Fruit Forum

Thank you for this generous offer! I’m late to the party, but will happily accept whichever variety you have left.

I thought it was a long shot to ask, but figured if anyone had any info, it would be someone on here. Was worth a shot!

I sent my full request list in a DM. Just waiting on a reply with the total and how to pay.

Thanks,
Danny

Sending a pm.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Danny and I'm a 27yr old plant lover from Deep South Texas (Rio Grande Valley). I have been growing plants and trees since I was a little kid, and now have a food forest with pockets of butterfly/bee gardens. I love growing all sorts of edible fruits/plants.

I am currently looking for seeds/scions of any tropical fruit trees that I do not already have. I live in zone 10a and will gladly buy, pay for postage, or trade scions of my own.

NOTE: There is NO guarantee that my trees/scions are disease-free as I practice organic gardening and let Mother Nature do her thing. I do spray organic fungicides if I see an infection and prune out diseased tissue when spotted.

My main interests are seeds/scions/germinated seeds of:
-Capulin Cherry
-Annonas that I do not have: Yellow Soursop, Fingersop, Pond Apple, Atemoya, Ilama

-Artocarpus (Chapmedak, named Jackfruit varieties, etc)
-Sapotes I do not have
-Durian
-Long Neck/Red Avocado
-Mangos that I do not have
-White Sapotes that I do not have
-Tropical Fruit or berries that I do not have

Some of the trees I have growing are large enough to take scions to offer for trade, but some are still too small and are unavailable. These will be in italics.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Danny and I'm a 27yr old plant lover from Deep South Texas (Rio Grande Valley). I have been growing plants and trees since I was a little kid, and now have a food forest with pockets of butterfly/bee gardens. I love growing all sorts of edible fruits/plants.

I am currently looking for scions of any low chill deciduous and/or tropical fruit trees.

I am open to all sorts of fruit scions and/or rooted cuttings. I will gladly pay for postage or trade scions of my own.
