I ordered a bunch of these direct from India, because I couldn't find M. sikkimensis X paradisica in larger quantities in the US for cheap(seedman has them, but expensive). I noticed that they also had M.balbisiana'Gigantea' with a "New" symbol next to it so I bought some of those also.
Anyways if your interested in some M. sikkimensis X paradisica it will be $4.00 for 50 seeds, and $2.00 shipping(priority mail)=$6.00 total.
And for the M.balbisiana 'Gigantea' it will be $3.00 for 50 seeds+ $2.00 shipping= $5.00 total. Shipping will be combined($2.00) if you want both types.
But if you can't afford it SASE me and I'll send 10 of each for free.
PM or email me if interested,
Thanks,
Kyle

I don't really know. These ones and M.Daj giant just came on the market this year so no one has tested them yet.
Southlatropical just paid via paypal, so if anyone wants to pay by that method it is really easy, you'll just need my email, PM me for it. Thanks again, Southlatropical.

Just sent out seeds to Briancoconuts, southlatropical, Inoneear, Tophersmith, and Rmplmnz. I had to send them first class(but with confirmation #'s if you want them), because it was $4-$5 bucks to send them priority mail.
Microfarmer, I'll send yours out next time.

A little bit behind others I suspect, but my first M. sikkimensis X paradisica seed germinated at last. Now just to wait for the rest....

VERY SAD news we lost the four Balbisiana, beleive was due to gnats!
They have been sprayed, now see if any seeds made it.
