A little about my seeds... I love a good trade! I'm interested mostly in rare and beautiful trees and shrubs. What I don’t have from South Africa, I can get. South Africa has thousands of species that are found nowhere else. My intention is to build my collection of rare and beautiful plants from all over the world. I only want three or four seeds of each species/variety. I think I have the most varied private collection of indigenous species in Africa. Most are tender, though. I also have a growing collection of seed from exotics. I supply five seeds per trade, unless otherwise specified in our correspondence. Best regards, David | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
