Seed Exchange (Share & Request)
Thursday, 15 December 2011 17:31

Seed saving and being able to grow our own food from seeds and cuttings is an important part of why our community is here. If you have special varieties of seeds and plants that are hard to find or are unique here is the place to let others know.  If you are looking for special seeds or plants, put in a request for your favorite seed or plant. It is very likely that someone in the area already has some of your favorite plants growing.

Go to the Seed Exchange Forum now where the action is.

If anyone has any seeds they do not know what to do with and come from an identified good source Mother Tree, we accept them for distribution to any of our 8 community viveros coastal to high montane altitudes. CommunityCarbon Trees-costarica.com for the proliferation of native seeds and plants.

0 #2 Canistel trees etc. — Jesse Blenn 2012-01-01 03:55
I have several small canistel (eggfruit, scientific name Pouteria campechiana)tre es that I could exchange for rare or interesting fruits, orchids, or lilies. They are sweet fruit with the texture of egg yolk, and a taste comparable to pumpkin pie, relative to the commone zapote (Pouteria sapota). I sometimes have other odd fruit trees also, and will have lots of rubber tree (Hevea brasilensis) seeds next year if anyone is interested. Also will probably have macadamia nut trees to exchange.

0 #1 Meloncillo problem — Dennis Garber 2011-12-27 20:28
I was given some "meloncillo" (sp?) seeds, and they have grown into handsome plants (on trellises) that flower (finally!), but they do not set fruit. There are 7-8 plants, so I am assuming that they can't all be females - or can they? Does anyone have any insight for me on this problem?
