It’s finally time to get the garden growing! I’m putting a lot into my backyard oasis this year. I just made a trip to The Seed Bank in Petaluma and stocked up on Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I’ve got a long to-do list before any seeds actually go in the ground, but I can already see the finish line. Stay tuned for the progress!

The Queen 👑
Plinia Cauliflora - Paulista variegated.
This is one of the most beautiful new foliage of all plinias.
I will be releasing some plants in a few months. This will be the first time ever being sold in the USA. Only a few close friends/collectors have this variety at the moment and you could be next!
Happy Saturday!

Happy Sunday all!
Anã de Diamantina will be ready to be harvested pretty soon.
I am surprised to see fruits this size for such young plant.
I decided to transplant it to a 10 gallon pot last week and removed a few thick scions to graft more plants.
I will have some plants for sale soon.

Plinia Anã de Diamantina grafted in October 2020.
This is probably the only one flowering in the US, and to my surprise it started to flower only 7 months after being grafted.
No fruits were developed the first time, but now I’m getting way more flowers and hopefully I can try some of the fruits.

Hi all!

I was supposed to fly to Brazil this month to bring some more new Plinia varieties but the trip has been postponed.

I have around 700 rootstocks that would have been used for them, since I won’t use them for now and this is great time for grafting, I would like to give you a great opportunity to add more Plinias to your collection.

I will be offering this package of 4, recently grafted plants.

The way it works - you pick 1 variety from each group listed below and I’ll graft your selections and ship to you. (Usually on Mondays)

These will be pre-healed grafted trees, so you must keep them in partial shade, not in direct sun!

You can get a 50-60% shade cloth and keep them protected until new growth is established.

I am selecting branches that are flowering right now and some scions might include flowers. The size and thickness of the grafted scions you will be receiving are similar to those in the photos posted below.

The numbers listed in the groups below indicate the quantity of scions I have available.

Price : $300 (shipping included from California).

Note: No trades between groups - you must choose one variety per group.

Big surprise today!
I found flowers on this small Rosa de Pescoço seedling.
The plant is 2 years, 6 months old and close to 2 ft tall.
The plant is not so healthy and has been growing very slowly compared to all my other plinias, so I decided to transplant it to a bigger pot using different potting mix, which is when I noticed multiple flowers.
Some of the branches holding flowers are so skinny that if they were located at the top, the weight of the fruit would probably break the branch.
Hopefully it will set fruit.
