A week in Komodo (Indonesia) - Take 1

[ElsieD]

Thanks.  Love the stuff.  We have a Dutch grocery store here that sells some Indonesian products.  We are never without kecap manis.

Thanks for the report! So interesting to see that part of the world. I feel like we always go to the same places…

Right, but I can't find it in NYC anywhere!!

@KennethT I have a calamondin / calamansi tree; happy to send you some seeds. I'm not sure if they will grow from seeds or if you need to graft. There are a few nurseries in the US where you can mail order the plant and I don't think there are shipping restrictions to New York.   https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/a/blog/how-to-grow-a-calamondin-citrus-tree

Thanks. I've bought a few trees from Four Winds growers - they're great! I actually looked at their website the other day and was surprised by the prices - they've doubled since I bought my last tree (at least 10 years ago).

 

I appreciate the idea of seeds, but since I'd be growing it indoors, if I decide to do it, I'd get one grafted onto dwarf rootstock.
