Here are some links to my favorite places to visit on the web...and in person! Many of these sites have been my source for rare tropical fruit trees in the past and have become some of our favorite places to visit. I have also become very close with most of these individuals and I am richer for it. Please check them out.
www.mangosteen.com, www.panoramicfruit.com, & www.rambutan.com These are Ian Crown's websites. Ian is our mangosteen expert and tropical fruit go-to guy. His farm in Puerto Rico is our highlight each year. Ian and his farm will be a favorite topic throughout many of the blogs and lots of pictures on the gallery page. Not much more I can say here...you will hear plenty about him in the blogs!
www.tropicalfruitforum.com This is the best tropical fruit forum found anywhere on the web...which you can also link to from any of my pages. It was created by my good buds Sheehan Gobin and Patrick Brooks. Lots of great people contribute on a daily basis. Certainly a one-stop site for any tropical fruit related fix you need. The main site has much more to offer than just a forum too...a tropical fruit online library, wikifruit, recipies, and an area where you can buy, sell, and trade...listing member nurseries and websites.
www.flyingfoxfruits.com Adam is probably the main authority on jaboticabas and relatives. He has an incredible selection of jabs, anonnas, garcinias, and more. He usually has all kinds of seeds available and ships all over the world. Definitely check out his site and find him on facebook. Always something new going on.
www.ebay.com/usr/flyingfoxfruits This is Adam's Ebay site. He is always selling all kinds of rare beauties. But they go fast!
