    this is a neat looking tree, what are you hoping to achieve though?

    Will the fruit have aspects of both the acacia and the pea?

     

    To get some ripe fruits before the birds get them. I want the seed for growing purposes and the husk to eat/make jam.

     

    Last year I think from memory we only had 3 fruits but the birds managed to get them before I got back to pick them :)

    yeah i dunno, maybe not really serious about catfishing, but i found it strange that he was posting a whole heap about his studies etc and doing tissue culture, but didnt think to label seeds with a botanical name???? rather than the made up name he gave them.

    i just guessed his online persona was somewhat elaborated or something, you know to sell his stuff...

    I did a few orders like a couple years ago now it seems, received a couple and had one seized and destroyed because of labelling, all legit allowed in the country but destroyed because of that. I even recall asking specifically about labelling but the message musnt have gotten through it's a shame. anyway he seemed lovely etc

     i think there was another guy involved, ando or something, and i didnt dig that vibe too much.

    He also doxxed another aussie who had received some of what i had seized, he was like hit him up for some.... lolz

    anyway just my angle, he had plenty of interesting seed available, just didnt seem to know how to be a professional, he probz does now- good luck yall

     

    Before I made my order I asked Huan if all bags will be properly labeled as to fulfill the import standards and he said yes. 4 months later and nothing had arrived he said along the lines of "your biosecurity must have seized them". So much for being properly labeled eh

     

    Upon requesting seeds be sent again via express service with tracking he agreed to do so. Seeds arrived and after putting a post in the SAB facebook group, he hits me up for the $75USD it cost to send yet there was no mention of this when I asked him to send again. He also re-sent another aussies order express yet he asked him for only $10... Makes no sense. I did consider sending him the money but after the spew comment he left (now deleted but I have screenshot) on my post I decided not to.

     

    Anyway, this is what I have left is anyone wants to grow them and go 50/50 in seedlings

    This is the first I have heard of this, but after a brief search for Trichocereus and seeing much san pedro on ebay I am a bit perplexed. 

     

    As concerns paypal, I know some very nice Trichocereus hybridizers that utilize paypal for sale of cacti as well as seeds.

     

    Do you think those will be affected as well. Any links to this information on either?

     

    Sorry if all of this is common knowledge, but I don't do most social networking platforms outside of forums like this.

     

    https://www.reddit.com/r/sanpedrocactus/comments/6wh6ot/paypal_warning/

     

    A number of "commercial" sellers in the facebook world are now having to use other methods of payment instead of paypal.
