Thanks everyone! Since Ill be growing the scion from seed, (unless I get real good and decide to invest in good budwood or make friends with someone with a nice collection...) its not a bad thing that the Flying Dragon will take so long to be graftable. Ill read up on Swingle, FD just seems the most used except where the soil is over-sandy There is another website that apparently spammed here and got banned, because I was asked not to post their name, but they state their FD seeds are not available until winter. I saw Tree Source, and was really impressed with the website, but I figured the minimum seedlot was 1L since they state they pack them that way. I dont think my fiance would tolerate that much crazy :-) as much as Id like to have fruit sooner, and might break down in a year or 2 and buy a tree, I dont know a thing that I havent learned here or on the internet this month. It seems a lot of the new container owners get a citrus, and then have the steep learning curve of keeping a good, mature plant alive. Im a mostly self-taught gardener, and the only maturing tree I have is a Nana Pomegranate. Shes not keeping fruit yet, but she couldnt be much less picky!

I found the seeds at the link below. I am tempted to order them too! Here is a link that might be useful: Select Seeds

They had some on ebay labeled as a nui leka, which I believe is also called samoan dwarf. Its from a seller in Hawaii and the prices are pretty resonable for that type of coconut. Good luck.

I am not able to save seed due to limited space and isolation problems so never joined SSE - you can only get seeds if you are an active member - correct? **** Correct. SSE members can make requests from those SSE members who list their varieties in the annual Yearbook. There are about 4500 different tomato varieties listed. There are two categories of SSE members, listed and unlisted, so one doesn't have to list varieties in order to request from the YEarbook but the suggested cost is a bit higher for unlisted SSE members. You can go to seedsavers.org and read all about it. There's also the Public Catalog, online and also available as paper, from which anyone can buy seeds, but for tomatoes there's only about 40 or so varieties available, but lots of other goodies. I've listed hundreds of varieties in the Yearbook and have never used any particular isolation and have never bagged blossoms and out of all of those I can remember only about 10 that had crossed seeds from my saved seed. The norm is for self pollenization with tomatoes but that also depends on where one lives and the kinds of pollinators and how many there are. At the top of this first page you can click on the FAQ link and scroll down to an excellent article, with pictures, about cross pollination. I'd say that very few of the SSE listers do anything special and most who do say so in their introductory blurb as I now do since my good friend bags blossoms of the varieties she grows for me.
