If you've got some time, grow and plant your own!
I did, and still do.
I am eating avocados,mangos, bitter oranges, and of course, bananas, platanos,papayas,and lots of "Herbs" all started from "FREE" seeds and "Roots.
I did buy a "Pygmy Coconut" sapling tahat I couldn't start myself.
Buy some to get a "jump Start" but then "start" some things yourself.
My avocados taste exacly like their "mother", who I ate about 10 years ago.

There is a very good vivero on the way to the airport - from Sosua.

It is now on the left as approach the airport... I forget the name.... just as the road goes up before the airport.
Large, good selection and quality and well priced the last time I visited.

For lerge enough orders they deliver.

Good morning everybody, I guess you could call me a lurker but a lot of that is because the gods at dr.com are giving me a rough time. Every time I switch between threads I get "logged off" and each time it happens my "impatients" grows and I slink away home.
But seriously, I agree with cris colon, nothing beats the satisfaction of enjoying the fruits of your labour. The climate in the D.R. can not be beat for such endeavors.....and you can take that from someone who is in the process of closing down their
garden balcony for the season. (Montreal)
Hey Cris.....Why not start a horticulture thread ?
I could tell you all about my adventures this summer with coleus, basil, mint and sweet potato vine....
bye,

Just when "Johnny Appleseed" was becoming a distant memory..... I think it came w/ a book and a record.

Audio/visual ahead of its time..... he whistled a lot, if I recall

Chris, I noticed you did not mention sweet oranges. I had a sweet orange tree and ended cutting it down because it got a fungus and died. Apperantly this fungus is wiping out all orange trees. Has anyone found an orangev tree that is resistant to the fungus?

Good Afternoon, Professor HB, Chip, and I went last year to the Agricultual University in Santiago. You just cross the bridge and keep going straight. We bought cherry trees and some others at really cheap prices. We planted them at the Tardiff Orphanage when it was still at the drug dealers confiscated property.

Resistant orange trees to Tristesa
RICA Orange Corp groves use a resistant madrina tree to the dreaded "Tristesa" fungus. The primary graft plant they use is relative to the citrus family but does not bear fruit. Sometimes you can get them from the RICA vivero just past Villa Altagracia on the Duarte Highway. Madrina plants that are Naranga Agria or pomelo are useless as they will always suffer from Tristesa.

I but my Injerto Advocados and Mangos from Bani buts thats a little far for you guys
