Hey TFF,  I have available this Eugenia uniflora var Dwarf Orange in a 10g Root Trapper fabric grow bag for $200.It’s Sellami ‘s favorite Pitanga, he says it has citrus flavors with no astringency or bad aftertaste.  It’s ready to go into a bigger pot or in the ground. It had 4 flowers this year but no fruit set so probably next year. Seed was obtained from Sellami and the other growers that bought seeds  from him the fruit are true to seed having bright orange fruits. The is also a small branch of Marta’s Guaruja Red Pitanga that I grafted on in the Spring.I much prefer pick up because of its size to build a reinforcement to protect it and shipping cost. If someone must have it shipped it’s not going to be cheap. The biggest box I have available in the picture is 15x15x48 and you can see I would have to do a large pruning to fit. Shipping for this box size rate from Pirateship UPS Ground 30lbs from NC to FL is $50 and NC to CA is $90. I can get a larger wardrobe box 21x18x46 for $18 extra to buy it where just a light pruning to fit,plus $20 shipping and handling to cover cost and time to build a wood support to protect it and UPS shipping is NC to FL is $65 and NC to CA is around $110. Any ? please ask and have a great day.

Hey TFF,

I was gifted these seeds from a friend so I’m selling them for around what they go for as seeds. They need to go into  bigger deeper pots than what they are in now as they will look better in no time but I have ran out of room with the cold weather here.  I can ship these 5 semi bare root together in a large flat rate USPS box for $19. If on the East Coast shipping will be cheaper using priority or ground shipping around $10. With semi bare root I just lightly knock off any loose media that the roots aren’t holding on too, add some damp coir, wrap in damp paper towel and then wrap in cling plastic wrap.  Send a PM if interested along with zip code for an exact shipping price. Payment with PayPal Friends and Family.

Thanks,

David

I have a large rare Ficus austrocaledonica that I need to get rid of, no room in the house this winter in NC. Seed obtained from Rare Palm Seeds back in 2012 and this is the form with red stipules, half were red and half were white out of the 24 or so seedlings. The fruit is reported to be edible but I don’t know how good it is.$10 plus actual shipping charge. If you live in Florida that was hit by hurricane Ian it is free just pay actual  shipping. I checked with Pirate Ship and UPS ground is $70 to FL for the big box.This is the biggest box I can find and I’m still going to have to trim it back before shipping and reinforcements of course.

Eugenia pisiformis seedling last one I’m selling. Uber rare and Sellami’s favorite sweet type Eugenia. Very ornamental too with silver sheen new leaves that unfold out in a T shape. This plant is about to flush out new growth right now. $130 includes USPS Priority shipping. I just saw one this size go for $160 plus shipping on eBay. If it doesn’t get bought by 9PM est Sunday the 28th it will put on eBay. Thanks and have a great day.

First 3 pictures of actual seedling. Fruit pic from seed supplier Sellami. Last pic is younger to show the silver new growth.

Hey Myrtaceae Maniacs I have my last Eugenia pisiformis that I’m willing to let go on a raffle on the Myrtaceae Mania on Band.
 
I have heard some hobbyists on here say that some very rare species are priced so high that they are unobtainable, well I can’t do anything about that it’s just supply and demand but I can do a raffle at $5 a spot with 36 spots. Just 1 germinated seed retails for around $160 from Seedshunter the only source of this species outside of Brazil that I know of. Any ? please ask on the Band group. Thank you.
