I've just harvested seeds from delicious White Malaysian Guavas that I purchased from the farmer's market in San Francisco. The vendor said that his trees were grown from seed and I will send 20 seeds per trade. I have 2 trades of Cherimoya seeds - 7 large seeds in each trade. I'm currently visiting my home in NJ from teaching English in South Korea. My month's vacation will be coming to an end soon when I have to return to teach on Feb 13th. So if anyone is interested in a trade, I can send out my seeds from the USA and anyone who lives on the east coast near NJ - like PA, DE, NY,MA or CT could probably be able to send me seeds back in time before I board the plane next Friday night. The only other option would be priority mail (which is costly) or sending to my address in South Korea. I've traded with many of you and the average cost of a bubble mailer to South Korea(also known as the Republic of Korea - one trader was asked which Korea at the post office - choose ROK) has ranged from $1.07 to $1.47 depending on what you send. Many times, people have told me that it's been cheaper for them to trade with me overseas than the US. You have the advantage of getting your seeds shipped to you faster and it won't be confiscated, so it's definitely better for you.
Korea has a lax law on seeds and I have never had seeds confiscated even in the rare event that a bubble mailer has been opened for inspection. Here are some other seeds I have for trade:
Korean perilla - Perilla frutescens - also known as Aoshiso, green leaves are used to wrap rice and meat along with condiments during meals. Similar to Japanese Akashiso in shape, but is not red in color.
Korean long dark purple eggplant

Korean mild pepper - known as Pput gochu (gochu means pepper in Korean)
