Collect fruit seeds of a specific tree native to Costa Rica / Panama
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I require someone in either Costa Rica or Panama to locate a fruiting tree of a particular species (Plinia cuspidata). To prove that you have found the correct species, you will need to provide video evidence. You will then extract the seeds from ripe fruit (10-25), wash the seeds, pack them in a moist medium and mail them to a European address.
Envisaged budget: $120AUD if you collect ten seeds, $200AUD if you collect 25 seeds. You will need to pay for regular postage to Europe out of this money.
