MountainGoat,

I know of two places, both in the U.S., that you might want to hit up.

First, for seeds you could try Fruitlovers.com: http://www.fruitlovers.com/seedlistUSA.html

I believe they currently have some viable Guarana seeds, though their site is down and says it won't be back up until May 7. Just FYI, I know of two people who ordered these seeds (along with similar P. yoco) and were unable to get them to pop. I can attest that Fruitlovers is a trustworthy nursery, so it might just be that Guarana is tough to germinate, or needs some pretreatment.

For plants, try topTropicals in Florida: http://toptropicals.com/cgi-bin/store/store.cgi?item=2743

These just came up for sale about a month ago. Definitely spendy, but this plant seems to be rarely available so get 'em while you can.

One more FYI, avoid all the shady eBay sellers -- seeds are pretty much guaranteed to be old and dead.
