Please let us know when Cordia will be available again. I’m from Brazil and get mine when I go visit my parents, but since covid I haven’t been able to go back. Thank you for offering this wonderful plant here.

Hi! The seeds from Cordia are surprisingly trustworthy. I note some are in the making from mother plants. I’ll try to get you some when ready.

Hi Rico, I am interested in Cordia seeds as well. Can I be included in the waiting of the mother plant too? I’m happy with just a few seeds. If she releases them. It’s up to her, really. Thank you !
