nice one...welcome to the club :p

now you can relate :)

be careful when you peel the tape, skin might come off also, they are sensitive

Simply amazing, Rick. They are stunning trees, I know you have been waiting a long time for these. I can't wait to see how they leaf out. We will need lots of photos of these too. Grats!

Tracy

Check the caudex out, like them a LOT, that seller produces really nice fat plants, superb :)

Impressive specimen, Rick! When do you ship them to me? ;-)

I was so amazed at how big these where. Hard to tell sometimes when viewing in a photo. Nice part is that you can choose which ones you want.

Martin, I am so pleased. These will be my advanced trees and I was going to hold off, but the prices are so great. I wanted to have some mature trees now.

Rick

Any idea what age those bad boys are Rick?

I am not sure, but I will ask. Would be nice to know. The size of these is amazing, Phil. More than I imagined. Would take me years to grow them to this size. Now I can watch them develop even more and seedlings following behind.. Prices are so good. Should have put into larger pots, but did not have any on hand. Next year will pot up. You would like one.

Rick

Nah I wouldn't like one I would bloody LOVE one buddy but prob outta my price league and prob doesn't ship to UK so you best keep me supplied with sexy pics my friend lol they are daaaang fine!

rick those are 6 to 8 months young

6-8months - shut the front door!! How the heck do they get soooooo big and fat caudex so young? It is just down the the perfect climate or do they get a strict feeding programme very young?

There is NO way I could grow something so big in my LED tent, I don't even reckon I could grow one so big in two years in a grow tent with my super led light lol - i'm astounded - but so glad to witness such beauty, will look even better when full of leaves :)

all this trees and the new generation if arabicums grows so fasts, they are all hybrids, the one i posted on saving money for this , thats 1.2yrs young

6-8 months old? I doubt it but it could be possible with very good genetics. ;-) I would say 1-1.5 years old under tropical conditions.

Dino's Facebook page says that he sells Thai Soco seeds too. Does anyone have a link to his seed list?

Tracy

Not sure about seeds, Tracy. Jericson would probably know. His trees are so reasonably priced and especially for the size you get.

Rick

yes martin its 6 to 8 months young, its there genes, not like the classics,

im not sure if his selling seeds, he would never sell his own hybrids, thats were he gets his income, prolly he gives away freebies when u buy trees from him, or he changed his mind and start selling, havent talk to him yet, ill ask later

tracy just talked to him, he said he only sells seeds to people who orders his trees, but not that much,

Wowzer, those are some fantastic plants...... and so young too! Congrats Rick on your purchase, I hope they do well for you. I'm sure they will flourish in your capable hands so please keep us informed of their progress.

Gill UK

Jericson thank you for checking on the seeds. I am considering buying some trees, would you be interested in helping me? Let me know if you would prefer me to PM you. Thanks again.

Tracy

just message me in my fb page, and ill set u up for him, he might answer late since his always busy

Rick,

Those are some Great plants. Would look good with my few. Lol. Thanks for sharing

Sharon

Wow! Something to add to the wishlist. Perhaps next year I'll look into these beauties! Season is winding down for me as some of my adeniums are already dropping leaves.

Kirk

ok tracy and sharon....good luck on choosing what tree you guys want, i did my part, choosing of trees is in your hands now lol,

Thank you Jericson!

at this moment its 12.18am in thailand,

Richard, wow.... they look so big......you're hook now......

Marie

Does this guy ship the UK?

Phil, I would think he could. You already know that all you need is a Phytosanitary Certificate, so all you would need to do is contact him.

Really super nice guy.

Jericson helped me out a lot.

Rick

we can try phil, just pm me in fb and ill connect u to him

Sadly I don't do Facebook but does he have a website to view stuff to choose from or is it just all via fb?

Phil, simply a phytosanitary certificate? Did you check it yourself? As far as I know, UK is a EU member ;-) and plant import from non-EU countries is restricted. Are you sure that you don't have to inform the British Plant/Agri Agency about your import prior to actually importing the plants? You see, we don't want you to import all kinds of virusses and invasive species in the EU. ;-)

Importing a single plant from, say, Thailand will cost me at least 250£. Phytosanitary inspection fee.

Hi martin - not sure where this guy is but didn't know if he sent to UK or if it was as a big hassle for him? I did check about importing from Thailand and Taiwan and was told providing there is a phyto certificate attached then it was fine.

Only thing I don't know is if there would be any more import duty or tax to pay by me?

Thanks Jericson

Sharon

I am not sure what other countries require. I do know that for my country that an Import Permit and a Phytosanitary Certificate is required for me to receive plants. Many countries only require there to be a Phytosanitary Certificate, this is issued by the country exporting the plants. In this case Thailand.

Here, I am required to find out if the Added Declaration that is require by my country can be met by the exporting country. In this case, Thailand Agriculture Dept. can issue a valid added declaration free of required field.

U.S. only requires (to knowledge from here and friends) a Phytosanitary Certificate and to my knowledge no added declarations. Permit required when importing more than 12 plants.

Added Declaration would only be required if the Importing Country (Yours) was asking for an Import Permit to be acquired first. A general Phytosanitary Certificate is issued by Exporting countries if the Importing Country does not asked for further declarations.

This all sounds quite confusing, but if you contact your Inspection Agency, they will tell you what is required. If all that is required is a Phytosanitary Cert. and no added declartation required, then there should not be an issue.

It is actually fairly straight forward and it only takes one time to find out, then it is just a matter of inquiring from exporting country.

As for Phytosanitary Cert. The cost varies tramendously, depending where you are.

For me to get a Phtyo. from the U.S. is very expensive to ship here. Yet, for someone to export from here. A Phyto. is quite reasonable. Not sure what constitutes the varying differences?

Phil, Double check. If you are told that a Phyto. is all that you require, then ask if whom you are buying from can issue a Phyto. to your Country. They will check with the Agriculture Dept. and let you know.

Rick

Phil, I am almost sure that you have to pay WAT and perhaps even import duty. Everything that goes across the border and into the EU are taxed. There might be a triviality limit (or whatever you call it), but you should check with customs. You could try an import your plant(s) without informing customs but I wouldn't take the risk. You will get a fine and your plants seized (you don't want your plants stuck in a box for weeks).

As nice as they are I prob best stick with the seeds I have and concentrate on getting them growing into something nice all being well as cash is tight right now, especially after paying to go on a dog psychology course over the next two weekends starting next week, the first one is only 45 mins away but the follow on is 4 hours away so I also had to pay for accommodation, should be a great course though :-)

Phil, good choice. Raising adeniums from seeds yourself is the really fun and interesting thing about growing adeniums. No offence, I once bought specimen adeniums myself but IMHO it's not the same.

I agree completely about raising from seed. It is a great accomplishment seeing your own seedlings mature and having that nice fat seedling or producing a special bloom.

At the same time. Having a few specimens that are older and more advanced, gives one the opportunity to enjoy and hopefully have a very large specimen sooner. When many of us are living in climates that would require many years to get the growth that these have. It is a nice option to have. Not necessarily relying of artificial lighting.

It is my personal goal to have a nice collection of these trees and continue learning what I can, to achieve some beautiful trees some day.

When you are unable to grow these outside all year round (with or without protection), then space becomes a factor. At least for myself.

Rick

I couldn't agree more Rick. I am in preference of raising my own. But having some nice specimen around is a nice way of rewarding yourself for all of the cultivation work you are doing on the seedlings.

The first plant I asked to begin looking at with Dino is the Dino King. Yours is so impressive. They all are, truly.

Tracy

Just make sure you guys supply plenty of picture updates as and when so we can admire :-)

I am so taken with the skin on these trees. I was checking out mine Jericson and they each are different. Such a cool look.
