I posted this question because I was thinking to buy some again, and try an give a second chance to those species, somebody sprouted (although they have now lower viability than the first time)
What I learned from your information is that none of them worked better then other and the germinate rate was close to zero (only one M. campestris limbangensis from 100 กก)

As said, really a pity
what persuaded me into buying was probably the pictures on the website. the pictures are interesting . seems they devoted all of their resources into the website.. the seed they are selling are mostly not viable,and its not just my opinion. if someone in the united states could actually grow and propagate these by seed,or division i would buy them. the biggest problem is finding someone who is willing to part with something you are interested in growing. bottom line if i were you i would look elsewhere.
