      hello turf, yes, this is one of the special plants that you can grow in your warmer zone. Among all the Burseraceae (the Myrrh family) these are really the easiest. richo

      Hello, can a small amount of seeds be successfully sent to China? Does this seed belong to the list prohibited by the customs? How much is the transportation cost?

      hello chao, Commiphora is an elite plant–it is not disallowed anywhere. I believe shipping to China is still enabled on our website, and please be aware that we do not guarantee international shipments. If you order, we will send. the shipping cost is going to be about $14.00–you can review before finalization. r

      Hello Sumera,
      Honestly, my experience with trying to send seeds to India is that they rarely get to their destination. I will send them, but cannot guarantee delivery.

    100% germination rate!

    Chris (verified owner)

    These trees can be hard to find at my local desert nursery so I decided to try and grow them by seed. I was extremely pleased at the 100% germination rate to these seeds. I would recommend these seeds and this company to friends without a doubt.

      Hello Seth,
      Thanks for making the effort to communicate. As you know freshness is important for Burseraceae, and proper horticultural technique is required for germination. I am relieved to hear that you have the latter covered. Richo
