Hi Cocomo, Sorry your feeling under the weather. I'am interested in your Pink velvet banana, Hawaiian red Canna and the Spider lily. I have a few seeds of the following to trade,Cantaloupe "imperial 45", Melon "green nutmeg", Puya pepper, Fish pepper, Narinjilla fruit, and Melon "charentais" a french heirloom. Let me know hope you feel better soon. Katie

Hi, I think you are the jc that we ordered some michelia maudiae seeds from. If so at that time I wanted a sapling of "hospital white shower tree". I am still looking for one if you know where I can get one. They don't have seeds. I would appreciate any information. thank you Toni

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 :)

Update: Eucalyptus deglupta that I raised several dozen of and only this past winter I planted 6 of them into the ground at an elevation of around 150 m above sea level, into a poor "soil". They did not grow too large in their pots over the past 5 years. After clearing an acre or so of shrubby woods with an excavator I was struggling to find some soil to purchase in order to cover the field. The soil I covered it with by just a barely a foot or so is very poor and has a lot of volcanic "gravel" in it mostly, stones and clay. It is dug up from down deep so it has got no organic matter yet. Finally the 6 x "Arcoiris" (Rainbow Eucalyptus) are in the ground and are slowly growing. Some showing deep, red foliage and some green foliage. The bark is still mostly light brown with some opened up patches of light green. They should show more colour when the trunks grow to at least 10-15 cm thickness if they will have tropicals colours here at all. Will see how their bark will look after several more years, whether all brownish and light green or will show some more tropical colours such as orange, red and especially blue. I will post an update then and now here are some photos of the pot-grown ones after 5 years (they grow very slowly in the pots): Anyone growing these in Portugal or Spain please post up close photos of the bark of larger E.d. (Eucalypto arcoiris) trees if possible.
