Thanks for the link David, I will read that soon. As for the trees, that would be fantastic, in the meantime I will do a google search again in France. Have a great weekend

Hi Byrant,
Yes, that's why we buy heirloom from reputable people, for example, realseeds and the Agroforestry research trust etc. We hunt far and wide for what we want. So far we've done well, we have 100s of seeds, and a lot of trees and bushes but we are missing the tropicals. The law regarding organic is unclear here in Spain, but we live in Mallorca, which at least is GMO free, and that's great And yes, we can import from anywhere in Europe..

Thanks Byrant,
I will check them out. I do know Viveros, however, and I know they are not organic...

Thanks Byrant,
I checked out the backyard, but they don't appear to be organic or heirloom. Also, I don't think it's legal to import plants from the USA to Europe, not sure how it works though and I'm looking into it. I think customs would confiscate them..

Hi, we are new here, so hope we're doing it right!
We are in Mallorca, looking for heirloom/organic trees of the exotic kind, not an easy thing to get here in Europe..does anybody know of any sources?
Thanks!
