Grapes, Aloe And Agave

[maidu]

rather than start separate threads, I choose to bundle these topics:

first off, I'd like to get some grape starts. About 2 years ago, there was a poster on here who mentioned he would have muscat grape starts (coming from Australia) - and he would send some around. Anyone know about that - or any other grapes that might grow in northernmost Thailand?

2. I have aloe vera starts. I can trade 'em for other interesting things, of maybe just send some in the mail for anyone in Thailand who is interested. Same for agave starts, of which I have a bunch. as you probably know, aloe juice is used in skin lotions/shampoos. Agave's main claim to fame is for making tequila, tho I've heard it can also be used to make methane.

3. other things I'm interested in: kiwi, figs (I've had problems with growing figs. They're easy to propagate and they start off strong, but after 6 months they crap out. maybe something in the soil?). Anyone heard of cocoa being grown in Thailand? That would be cool - making chocolate. I have vanilla vines, but they haven't yet flowered.

4. also, I can give away or trade 'brazil noi' tree seeds. They're a hazel sized nut, same family as brazil nut.

Later, I'll have seedless pink grapefruit tree starts. If you know of anyone else growing grapefruit in Thailand, let me know.

As for Cocoa, there is an old thread
