HAVE: Tropicals

19 years ago

I have several tropicals that I would like to trade. They are very nice sized and most need to bee repoted already.

1. Banana Nam Wah (acording to some, one of the best tasting bananas) This pup is about 1-1/2 feet tall

2. Curry tree seedling - leaves are esential ingredient for indian curries. Gallon size plant over one year old seedling.

3. Passion fruit vine (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa) This vines beas white/purple flowers and produces edible and great tasting fruit good for making juice. This is not perennial forever but will live for at least 5 years. Needs at least a zone 9 place to live unless you have a roomy greehouse. About 2' tall

4. Horseradish tree seedling (Moringa oleifera) - exotic tree whose leafs are edible as well as its roots. Drought tolerant once established about 2" tall.

5. Double allamanda vine - (Allamanda ---) tropical vine very rampant and free flowering needs a fence to cling to.

6. Philipine violets (Barleria christata) - grows well and blooms in semishade

7. Hibiscus schizopetalus - aka: " Fringed hibiscus ", " coral hibiscus " o " Chinese lantern " Rare hibiscus exotic looking.

8. Hibiscus acetosella - Red shield hibiscus: Nice plant with burgundy colored leaves which are edible when tender. They taste have a tangy taste like a salad that already has vinegar in it. Nice pink flowers.

I am looking for things on my list or not so common tropical ornamentals, tropical fruits, other banana varieties. No palms, please. Make an offer.

Could I trade you a purple orchid tree about 12" tall for the hib. schizopetalus or maybe a Philippine lily?

P.S. The passion vine seeds you sent me have germinated and growing well. They are about 4" now.

Thanks all for your trade offers. This is an update. The hibiscus schyzopetalus has been all traded or spoken for. Still have at least one of each of the other plants. Also a note of clarification. I will trade my fruit or tree seedlings(including bananas) only for other fruit seedlings(including bananas). And most definitely I will trade plants for other plants but not for seeds. Last but not least, will not trade for any UN-rooted cutting, sorry (have already learned that lesson).
