Cambuca Plinia edulis

ivepeters starts with ...
Anyone know were there are some available?

Mike
I've heard their in country and established, but can't find out where.
I guessed you would have them.
But anyway there should be more around in a few years time.

ivepeters says...
Like I said there will be more around in a few more years.

You probably can't wait for the UFO's to land in the backyard.Cambuci.

Fruitlovers are usually very reliable. At this time of year however, you need to ask for priority mailing such as registered or couriered mail so they dont sit around at the mail sorting centre drying out at this busy time. At normal times it is quick enough and I get great results from most of their seeds here in New Zealand. It is important to use proper seed raising mix and possibly a heat tray or similar.

denise1 says...
I recently also got some Hybrid Jabs that took 4 weeks. Some are still alive. It is the slow mail season to blame. 90% of the time they arrive within a week and grow well.

Al says...
thanks for that info.
I was considering ordering soon so they had more chance of getting through - with less attention - but the potential delay doesn't sound good.
Not sure I can risk it right now, but I see that they have short timeframes of availability too.....

The poster formerly known as... says...
I have one small spare cambuca. It was a slower grower than the other ones that went into the ground, but is starting to get a move on now. There is always one that misses the previous warm season and waits through the winter until they get growing.

Al says...
Would you be willing to part that slow grower 'the poster formerly known as'? I'm more than happy to forward you postage and some moolah too!
You can contact me on fishriddle at hotmail dot com, or I can get in touch if you prefer.
Thankyou to Mlk T1 also for that information. I will get in touch with Oscar regarding the import biz as I've lost a few seeds...

sternus1 says...
Oscar is a good guy and knows what he's doing with sending seeds intl. He'll take care of you.

IP my larger E.selloi (real name) have a few flowers but I have no seeds or seedlings at the moment.That species is so 2012 for me and I'm on the trail of bigger game.

Yoda on DMT says...
My latest acquisition, coccinea kadsura.

Anyone else growing this? Ha! Just kidding. Pretty vine, dioceous apparently so hopefully my three will be able to tango and bear some fruit eventually. No way I'll eat it of course, but its an interesting curio. Roots are very similar to that of black sapote, but are not black.

How are they at handling the cold weather coming, such that it is in Brissy.

ivepeters says...
Its quantity over quality.

ivepeters says...
Goodluck S.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Kadsura coccinea.

You won't have any trouble with Kadsura coccinea up there. We are growing them down here too. Still have a few left in pots for the past couple of years.

They are very hardy and easy to grow in Melbourne's climate although it prefers part shade. The fruit is supposed to be a sedative. Cheers!

About the Kadsura coccineas that I have, I assume they are the red fruiting type. The nursery down here was just selling one type as Kadsura coccinea and I was under the impression that "coccinea" refers to the red colour. I've only seen pictures of green fruit on other sub-species like Kadsura ananosma. Yes, it will be good to trade cuttings later to add to the mix.

Yes, I would love a grafted black carbon, that would be fantastic! There are only the common type of seedling Bayberries available here and I think it will be at least another 10 years before I see any fruit on them. Hopefully the Black Carbon will fruit sooner. Cheers!

Bangkok says...
I'm also looking for seeds of the plinia edulis. Anybody has them?

Bangkok says...
Mike i have so many pals, in which continent are the cambucafruits now? Then it's easyier for me to find them.

Bangkok says...
Then i would rather grow potato's :)

Availableseeds.com also has them but i guess the mail between us will be (too) slow.
