Hi,I have some merremia sibirica seeds from your wants to trade for these plus I have some coleus mosiac kong series to.LMK please.Debbie

Peterstamov: There are exchange forums here on GardenWeb. You can trade for seeds in the Seed Exchange Forum, and you can trade cuttings and plants in the Plant Exchange Forum. There are also other places such as the Yahoo group called The North American Scion Exchange. Unfortunately, because of GardenWeb's idiotic policy, I can't post a link to that group. It can be found easily by searching Yahoo groups though. I do see one possibly large obstacle though, sending plants, cuttings, and seeds from one country to another often requires things such as a phytosanitary certificate. Obtaining such things isn't impossible, but it is probably more trouble than most hobbyists would want to go to for pawpaw cuttings. I would suggest that you seek out a plant nursery that could ship to your country. You might also want to look into obtaining material from the US National Plant Germplasm System. They do primarily provide material for US usage, but can, in many cases, also ship to other countries. I will leave that research up to you, but could help you if you run into a "roadblock".

i would like a dormant african rhino banana corm i have a weak pup but i would like to have a good corm. also i am looking for paw paw seedlings(asimina triloba). i have a few banana pups for trade: dwarf cavandish/cavandish/basjoo/sumatra x/little prince/grand nain. i have one ensete pup(red underside leaves,green top, and red mid rib)for trade. i have a few windmill palm seeds to offer if anyone would like em.

Last year for the first time I tried pawpaw seeds. When I got the fruit I cut them open and took out the seeds and washed them off. I think I then put them in a moistened paper towel inside a glad sandwich bag. This would have been probably sometime around October I would think. They remained in the fridge until this spring when I took them out and planted them in flower pots. Nothing happened for quite some time, but then one day I noticed that I had two little green shoots above the soil!!!! Altogether I had 7 seeds to work with. One of my pots seemed to have had the soil disturbed by some animal. I checked in the soil and found another seed that was starting to sprout but this seed has so far not made an appearance above the soil. I don't know if some of these seeds have to make a taproot the first season and then poke above ground next season or not. I do believe though that it is important to keep them in a cold moist environment until you are ready to plant them out. I did not nick the seed coat. I hope this helps.
