I also would love to do some International Trading. That would be fantastic.

As an american who lived overseas for 11 years in italy.
I can say somehow I find it hard to loose my ties with the culture. And also introduce others to the USA seeds, or as they say semi di stati uniti...

I have been fortunate to have traded some international....
This is a great forum for seed trading !

Look at the European forum. You're welcome !

Hey folks, count me in!

I've been successfully trading seeds with six continents for four years.

I have 120+ rare heirloom varieties of legumes, tomatoes and exotic vegetables to trade.

But... this year, I'm only interested in acquiring rare or heirloom legumes, that will grow in temperate climes ie. P. vulgaris or P. sativa. (Thanks but, I already have all the heirloom tomatoes I can grow out, and then some! And alas, I can't grow limas or crowder peas here (Vignas). Wish I could...)

If you have some odd legumes - P. vulgaris or P. sativa (or the like), I'd love to hear from you. E-mail me privately and I'll e-mail you back my vast trade list. (Sorry Dave, it's just too big to post here on the site.)

BTW: there is no phytosanitation problem in mailing seed to the UK. And when I mail seed back to the US or Australia, it has always gotten through without problem. (I am nothing if not ingenious.)

Here in Brazil there are a lot of restrictions regarding the exchange of "biological material" with foreign countries, because of the fear of biopiracy. The restrictions are so hard that botanists can´t collect plants without at least 2 authorizations, even from particular areas. They can´t even transport herborized specimens from one herbarium to another anymore.

Sometimes I feel bad because people ask me if I have stuff to trade. I do have, but laws forbid me to do it unless I get special authorizations. Of course, I could just send seeds in a sealed envelope and send it away, they won´t open every envelope to check if they are sending "biological material" (as some people do trade seeds and plants via mail and some of you already got stuff from Brazil), but if they do, I´m so fried - working with botany makes things worse instead of the oposite. It´s complicated...

HI all,
New Zealand is alittle bit the same as Monocromatico, there are restrictions. I would not try to import plant material, It's to expensive if done the right way,and if you try to sneak it in, there are huge fines.
Seed does get through, but it is best to put on the envelope "seeds of no commercial value", some seeds are taken, mainly grasses ,and plants that, become a problem.
I would like to trade seed with others or IRC, and just hope the mail gets through both ways.

still looking for any international trades see my prev ad.
Five packs for 5 packs. Seeds typical of each others regions.

Count me in on the international swapping discussion group. I've swapped with the UK, Ireland, Scotland, S. America, Australia, New Zealand, and more than I can remember. Thanks much.

I'd be very interested in international seed trading. I am in the Republic of Ireland and am quite new to this although I have done a few trades ie. UK and USA but would love to do more.

Sue

I am interested in international seed trading. new at this, but willing to give it a try.

Mary,
I would certainly be interested. I am currently looking for someone in Mexico. In the Yucatan to be more specific. Or even better might be Belize. Anyone knowing of someone would be my hero. Anyone???

Would love to trade and get seeds from other countries. I would love to have seeds of the fruit tree in Tiawan, they call it Dragons Eye, its like a grape with a tough outer almost leather skin. The furit is wonderful right of the Tree. Was there in 1996 and eat a lot of this fruit.

Wonder if you are talking about Longan? They are readily available here in some grocery stores with good fruit selections. Check yours ;)

Hello traders, I am from Spain, I´d like palm seeds, I have very much interest in this kind of plants. I can get a lot of seeds of flowers, vines, fruits and vegetables from my country if you aren´t interested in palms.
Please if you are able to get palm seeds, visit my tradelist and don´t take care if is anything interesting to you, probably in short time will be. I´m making on my tradelist for a week.
You can also ask me for seeds and I´ll try get them.

Hasta pronto amigos.

Welcome canelgat :) You seem to be new here.

Thanks Evert,
Never thought to look in stores here, was hoping to find seeds or a tree to buy. They don't do well in the cold but mite beable to grow them here in Louisiana.

Aw shucks, folks. (Sorry, I got that daft expression from a good friend in the Ozarks. Who now disowns it utterly.)

I'm up for any trade of heirloom legumes.

I am now (truly) growing out 160+ different legume varieties in my paddock in central England, zone 8A. They come from Africa, Australia, Europe and the US. (Yes, growing beans and peas can become a compulsion!)

All Phaseolus vulgaris varieties grow well here. But alas, P. lunatus (butter beans or limas), or Vignas (crowders) , or Cicers (chickpeas) , do not. We just don't have the hot long bright summers for them here, in Britain.

So if you have any interesting heirloom legumes to trade, please e-mail me privately, via this site. And I'll e-mail you back my trade list. (So vast is it, 'twould never fit into the 'trade list' utility provided here, alas.)
