Hello,
I have some Sterculia quadrifolia seeds, the native peanut produces black seeds the size and shape of peanuts with a taste very similar but with a slight coconut taste. Very popular with the local aboriginal kids and with my kids too. The seeds are very fresh and I also have a some fresh Cananga odorata seed if you are interested.
Regards,
Brendon

Hi I am interested in your Haas avocado air layered, if you still have it. I have Dwarf ambarella seedlings. It is a tropical fruit tree producing edible soursweet juicy fruits the size of a chicken egg. It may grow to 6 or 7 feet tall after many years but usually stays below that. Can easily be grown to fruiting stage in a large pot. Please let me know if interested. Thanks
