What a coincidence! Even while you all were posting on this thread, on
the Betel Leaf Climber (viddyaache paan), my plant was reaching
Saligao via the FedEx couriers.
Don't ask me why I bought this particular plant, but I saw an online
ad for some large-sized gauvas seedling (gauva sardar L49 amrud
), and got tempted into buying this and a leechee plant too. (Query:
would it grow in Goa?)
The guys selling these plants do an amazing job of packing and
despatching. All reached in healthy shape and totally undamaged. I do
know that some friends are critical of buying out-of-state plants...
but the service seems good. --Frederick

Perhaps you could get it from my brother on porvorim. Have to check if he still has some.
