The Tropical Fruit Forum

Yes there are many unsprouted too but unfortunately they are all at the point of sprouting shortly either way. Undoubtedly many would sprout on the way even if I picked not sprouting seeds. They also cannot be dried out and must be shipped moist therefore also contributing to the likelihood of sprouting.

Most seeds beginning to sprout but not yet too far along. If anyone wants seeds please get them ASAP! Still many left to grab. After another week or so most seeds will be too far into sprouting to ship. Let me know!

I have a supposed variety of D. bulbifera that is edible. Came from a member here named Caesar. They came to me from Puerto Rico. There is a few small bulbils forming now. I have yet to attempt eating any but I bought them from him due to being an edible type. Don't look much if any different than the wild types here in FL that are toxic. I do believe him due to his interest in all things true yam. It's still a bit scary to try them though just in case. If you see this Caesar would you please let us know if in fact you yourself have eaten this type without issues of any kind. Also if you've sourced any new yam types I'll totally buy some from you. Also the leren tubers I bought didn't ever pop up after winter but I would try it again if your ever selling any. Probably got too cold for them here on my porch.

There also is a guy called Grower Jim here in FL that has an edible bulbifera type too. Maybe you could find and talk to him. He sells on eBay. He's got the one that the aerial bulbs look box like not just rounded looking. I myself would buy some if anyone out there has them and sees this. I'll contact grower Jim eventually either way. I have bought stuff from him before and he is a good seller.

Hope that info helps! DG

For these key limes they are quite large if that spurs any larger interest. I'll try and remember to post a pic later. Larger than the key limes you see in the bag thingy at a store by a significant amount.

Kava is very shade tolerant and does well in a fairly lighted spot indoors. Definitely don't allow it to stay outdoors if it drops into the 60s.

Logees greenhouse company sells them from time to time but yes otherwise they are not easy to obtain. I've had and killed kava 3-4 times just due to leaving out a night or two in the 60s.

If you can post a pic of your M. speciosa I could ID it for you. At least in terms of the correct species not the strain. Most types hardy look any different from each other.

Very awesome man! Nice to see the stuff I sent actually growing in new areas.

Lots of seeds available and bunches more coming. This plant just keeps pumping out fruits!

Yes I do agree with what your saying. Growth speed matters to me too but lessly so than getting the best hardy types likely to handle here. I can wait on the fruit or graft later. Soil type tolerance matters too and I'm in heavy clay here. However I'm willing to accommodate that by raising them up when planting with better draining soil. Mound it up or create a permanent raised bed like area.

Think I messaged you back but if not hit me up. Got many ginger family plants. Including the rarer types.

Me too I'd love the green calyx type. Also very interested in any beyond the standard red type. Willing to buy/trade anyone that has some.

Yes seems not super easy to find those types. You would think they'd be popular due to people wanting trees that can handle the zone 8 boundary areas. I had a grafted Fantastic tree at one point but it was smallish and was killed by a 19°F night. Wasn't big enough yet to handle.

Mexicola types are a bit less cold hardy than I would like for sure. Probably will buy bacon seeds from Spaugh when they are ready. About how cold hardy is zutano?

Bumping this thread so anyone with cold hardy avocado seeds or seedling/grafted small trees might see this.

Thanks to Spaugh for the Stewart variety seeds! They came in good condition and look viable certainly. Recommend buying those seeds from him if your in need.

However looking for the most cold hardy types still though. Let me know!

Thanks!
