Hello,

I am looking for seeds or starts of a Dwarf Ambarella plant (Spondis dulcis).

Thanks for looking.

Hello Dean,
Did you ever get any response on this via PM? I was at an Asian store several weeks ago, and I saw a boxful of this fruit and I wanted to buy some just for the seeds. However, I was turned off be the $4.98/lb tag. Then, when I got home, it dawned on me that I don't need a whole pound of them. Just maybe 5 or six fruits. And they wouldn't weigh nearly a pound. I checked with sources from Puerto Rico and they charge $10 plus shipping for just 4 seeds. I haven't been back to the store since, but I'm craving for beef tripe. They have the whitest, cleanest, freshest beef tripe in the area, so I may just go there soon for it. If they still have them, I let you know.

I've got Spondias mangifera seedlings. A little confused of its kind because all its cousin Spondias Pinnata look all the same. I've got plenty of it now since I ordered it online; the growth rate is like 90 percent successful. I prefer Libas or Spondias Malayana Libas (Spondias malayana) - The Indi Journal but I got the Spondias Mangifera. In the Philippines, they use the Libas leaf as a sour agent for food, but I think the Spondias Mangifera is the same..and maybe the Spondias Dulcis too. I even read online that the libas was mistakenly called the Spondias Pinnata. Heck they are becoming all the same now-reading too much information about each one sounds and even look the same in the picture. And the taste and smell even the same! I guess as long as all is edible/safe, if they all both taste and smell the same, thats all whats important; maybe theres just different variety-like guava fruits have red, white or pink. If you know more about it by experience, please elaborate me.
