I bought 2 paw paw trees few yrs ago and one died right away. I need 2 trees for pollinating. Even a young seedling will do. And, I'd sure love to have a cara cara orange!! Here's what I have to trade:

Petit Negronne rooted fig

SEEDLINGS:
Ponderosa Lem
Meiwa kumquat
Honey tangerine
Poncirus Trifoliata
Flying dragon
Rangpur lime
Clemetine
Daturas (huge fragrant flowers - like Brugmansia, will flower this yr.)
Thomasville Citrangequat (only have 2 of this)

SEEDS:
Loquat
Yellow & Purple water Iris
Thanks, Patty

Thank you Tammy...you are a sweetheart.
Thanks Laaz, I really didn't want to spend any more $$$ on plants but I just bought the Cara Cara thru the link you gave. Laughing
Now, I'd still like to trade something(s) for that Paw Paw tree!

Got my tree from Ebay today & it's a healthy MEYER LEMON and not a CARA CARA!!!! ARRRRGHH
I just emailed them to tell them (PepesPlants). I waited 10 days too.
Tammy, you said you ordered one from them too. Did you get your Cara Cara?

PepesPepperPlants just emailed me & apologized. Told me to keep the Meyer & they'd send the Cara Cara for $11.60 shipping cost. The plant cost just over $9.00 so I told them I'd pay $10 for the plant & they can pay shipping. Waiting for response. Ohh well

Hi Patty,

If your don't get the Cara Cara, I have one and can do a couple of cuttings for you. Someone on GW was offering pawpaw seeds the other day, you might check the seed exchange.

I am interested in your Petit Negronne fig.

Let me know,
Jean

Hi Jean, thank you. Just minutes ago I got my Cara Cara plant in mail!
It turns out it cost me an extra $11.60 for shipping, and I got another meyer lemon that I didn't want LOL.
The P Negronne cutting I took 2 yrs ago just got potted up into a 3 gal pot - all fertilized and starting to leaf out. 12 inches high & two shoots at base to make 2 more cuttings. Nice roots! Be glad to send it.
I can't get on GW. If you could find a small seedling or 1 yr old Paw Paw that would be great! They grow very slow from seed.
The one I have is still small & it's over 4 yrs old LOL.
Patty
(love your recipes!)

I can send both a few pawpaw seedlings and stratified seeds from good pawpaws BUT I'm about to leave for a week. If I don't remember (much will happen next week) and you don't get some in the interim, please remind me.

Just want to say 'thank you' GoneBananas for the paw paws I received about 2 weeks ago from you. For almost 3 yrs I was hoping to get just one small one but you sent me FIVE! 4 of them are 3 ft high and the roots are remarkable.
They are outside all potted up in BIG pots... and are starting to break dormancy. They have a good home. Thanks very much Laughing
