The Seed Exchange

HAVE: Colombian tropical fruit seeds

11 years ago

I may have to offer in exchange lulo/naranjilla (solanum quitoense - Colombian variety), guava (Colombian variety), granadilla (passiflora ligularis - Colombian variety), passion fruit (passiflora edulis - Colombian variety) and BorojÃ¯Â¿Â½ (borojoa patinoi). Availability will depend on the time of response.

Looking for a few viable mangosteen seeds to try out. From what I read, the seeds need to be planted within days of being taken from the fruit.

Also looking for lychee, pulasan and any other seed in this family.

i think most fruits are like that, thats what i have found. fruit likes to go right from the fruit immediately to be planted/soaked, not be stored.

i've even sensed that it likes a bit of the sugars, and pulp to be planted right in with it in the dirt. it seems to work that way good, and i think theres something to it.

i dont have any of the plants you request. but if you are open to other offerings i would be willing to offer some seeds in trade for any of those things. or all, a little of each.

Hi amandapanda920, Welcome to The Plant Exchange! I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. Please see addressing newbie and newer member issues for instructions on getting your email link set up on your Member Page, as well as a location in your garden zone box. (See, I am zone 5/6 S IN) Some folks, myself included, don't respond to trade posts if the location of the trader is not shown. Happy Trading. Sue

I can't get my tropical fruit seeds to you through customs. You can find some interesting tropical seedlings/seeds from both Horizon Herbs in Oregon & Richter's in Canada. Sapote varieties will take around a decade to crop. Nispero, a relative of the Sapote is quicker to crop. Star Fruit will yield quick on short trunk - charming fruit, acidic taste. Barbados Cherry yields quick & blender juice is good. Neem is an extremely interesting useful tree you can prune. Noni is well worth getting - see my " Need a Challenge?" post in Drought Forum. Annon (a.ka. sugar apple?) & Mammon , both of the same family will prune easily & bear custardy sweet fruit quick . Pappaya will fruit inside a year - Aloha Seed has varieties. Bija (Annato) is an easy one, aside from being coloring agent the fruit boiled in milk treat internal bruising. Jaropha you might recognize from bio-diesel promoters. You might also like to seek out the rare African fruits.

Hi Seng The Mamey and Lychee are doing OK I keep fighting ants and aphids on the Mamey, but not a huge problem. I think every one of the Lychee must have sprouted, i have lots of them. The Dragon fruit did sprout new growth, then i had rains for several days which killed the new stuff, so it started another new growth on top of the old one, and now i am having several days of rain again. it doesnt look happy, i brought it inside to let it dry out. I got a couple of smaller dragonfruit bits from someone else also, so i have a red one now too. thanks Seng :) Yes i had an email with tylorgv , i will be sending him some Moringa i will have to stop trading now though, im just too busy to keep doing this. i love it, just dont have the time. UNLESS, its something i really want, like a live Jackfruit seedling, Cacao, or Lucuma :)

You might want to consider grafted trees rather then starting from seed. Pine Island in Miami is a great tropical fruit tree nursery.
