Can anyone recommend a place either in San Diego or L.A as a source for asian vegetable seeds and tropical fruit seedlings from Asia?

thanks

Not sure about the seedlings but if there are small areas of Chinatowns there or Asian grocery stores, they would likely have seeds.

What are you looking for specifically? I'm sure some of us can share some seeds for trade or SASE.

San Gabriel Nursery and Florist at 632 So. San Gabriel Blvd. is where I buy my seed. They stock Kitizawa, Evergreen, and others, and have most Asian trees that will grow in So. Calif in stock. It's a pretty large outfit, and fairly easy to get to. Just come up the 15E to the 10W and get off at San Gabriel Blvd., then go North about a mile on the right hand side.

Try temple garden, on lower azusa blvd. between santa anita and peck road. I bought most of the tropical fruit trees from them

I have ordered Asian vegetable seeds from Evergreen seeds in Anaheim (www.evergreenseeds.com) and I've only heard of Exotica rare fruit nursery in San Diego (http://www.bonusweb.com/exotica/) from some people who are practicing sustainable urban farming in Pasadena (www.pathtofreedom.com).

My posting was unclear. I meant to say Orange County. Little Saigon and Korea town is there as well as a large Laotian community.

If you head down around 54th and University in East SD, there are many Asian produce stores that you could purchase the veggies from ....and plant them. Or you can go on line to www.tradewindsfruit.com.

Check out this web site. If you're into rare, unusual and not so unusual plants it offers an abundance of information. Also their publication is second to none when it comes to unusual fruit. They're based out of Fullerton (Orange County) and have chapters throughout the state of like minded hobby fruit growers. A fabulous organization!

Nurseries in San Diego with Asian veggies and rare fruit trees.

In my opinion one of the best is the Bonita Creek Nursery, they have a huge selection!

David, the owner, is GREAT and the fruit is super.
They have Avocado, Cherimoya, Cherry, Sapote, Guava, Figs, Mangos, Berries and many other trees.

The nursery is in Bonita, just 15 minutes from down town San Diego by car.

Have fun!

Among the Asian vegetables, if you are interested in tindora or parwal plants-We would be happy to supply tissue cultured plants imported from India. Perform quicker and better than the root plants, and not free of cost. Please Write for further details to sunagri@gmail.com
