I don't but would also be interested. You night check www.tradewindsfruit.com. They have lots of seeds I haven't seen elsewhere.

Dovyalis hebecarpa, or Ceylon Gooseberry thrives on all types of soils. It requires full sun, but otherwise needs no special care in Hawai'i's climate.
As the trees are either male or female, both types are needed to assure that fruit is produced. If fruit is desired, it is best to obtain a shield budded tree that has male scions grafted onto female stock.

The fruit is attractive to birds, and the plant has the tendency to become invasive.
