I’d really like to try one of these fruit trees. They’re ridiculously expensive online (eBay which I question) if you can find them and the information seems all scrambled. I see people selling seeds and seedlings which I want neither of if I can’t get known variety scions to graft onto. Can you graft a male onto a female tree for pollination?
I know one guy that grows quite a few but he’s not offering any sources and all his trees are in ground. Does anyone offer these trees in the US? I can buy many tropical fruit trees even local but not these. If they’re that good why aren’t people selling trees?

last year i participated in a group import and i successfully killed all the trees that i bought. a few weeks ago i connected with a local guy and he offered me scions of 3 named varieties. i grafted them onto myrica cerifera rootstock. hopefully they will take. i gave him some seedlings of parmentiera cereifera.
the more money that yangmeis sell for on ebay, the greater the incentive for more people to propagate and sell them.

Oh I missed that thanks Kris. Looks good and grafted is supposed to be the best to keep in containers from what I’ve read. I did ask Marta after I saw this site link her name and blog on their website but didn’t see that part on the Yangmei. These are for small seedlings I think so I wasn’t very interested in them.
