I have traded with Hristo in the past - sent him some pawpaw & persimmon 
seed, in return for some really large  C.mas seeds.
I've since pretty well stopped doing international trades, as I'm not 
certain of what species are allowed or prohibited, and I sure don't want to 
be responsible for introducing an unwanted pest/disease into another 
country or importing one into ours.
