Looking for Tropical Conifers

Hi folks, I am looking around for various tropical or warm temperate conifers such as Araucaria, Agathis, Cunninghamia and others.

I am writing from Zone 5 and I have a special interest in growing these plants indoors. Please don't mock or belittle me. I have a couple of these plants going like this and with the right care some of them can grow very well and look nice with plenty of interest as houseplants.

I am mainly after seedlings, liners or 1-gallon plants. I have various things that might appeal to you as trades.

Thanks for reading.

I don't have any, but ebay is a good place to look for tropical conifers. I'm always on the lookout for Agathis seedlings and have found a few on ebay from time to time. Araucaria depending on the species can be readily found on ebay.

Cincinnati, Ohio USA & Mindo, Ecuador

 

I always have a nice selection of different sizes of Araucaria bidwillii on Ebay.

I don't trade those off, though, sorry. Supply is not consistent enough.

Araucaria araucana is easily found on Ebay - If you decide to go the seed route, they must be fresh. (I'm sold out, except for two holdbacks at the moment.)

Good luck!

I'm still looking for unusual tropical conifers.

I'd really like to get a Gnetum seedling or seeds, too. I guess that Gnetum is grown as a fruit tree in Hawaii. Do people also plant it in South Florida?
