have: trade: sugar apple (annona squamosa) seeds

I have up for trade Sugar Apple seeds from my tree. I am willing to trade them for any fruit seeds/seedlings/plants/budwood that grows in zone 10b (South Florida)

Description: Annona squamosa (also called sugar-apple or sweetsop) is a species of Annona native to the tropical Americas and widely grown in Colombia, El Salvador, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Philippines. Its exact native range is unknown due to extensive cultivation, but thought to be in the Caribbean; the species was described from Jamaica.
It is a semi-evergreen shrub or small tree reaching 6 - 8 meters (20- 26 ft) tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, oblong-lanceolate, 5 - 17 cm (2.0 - 6.7 in) long and 2 - 5 centimeters (0.79 - 2.0 in) broad. The flowers are produced in clusters of 3-4, each flower 1.5 - 3 cm (0.59 - 1.2 in) across, with three large petals and three minute ones, yellow-green spotted purple at the base.
The fruit is usually round, slightly pine cone-like, 6 - 10 cm (2.4 - 3.9 in) diameter and weighing 100 - 230 g (3.5 - 8.1 oz), with a scaly or lumpy skin. There are variations in shape and size. The fruit flesh is sweet, white to light yellow, and resembles and tastes like custard. The edible portion coats the seeds generously; a bit like the gooey portion of a tomato seed. Sugar-apple has a very distinct, sweet-smelling fragrance. The texture of the flesh that coats the seeds is a bit like the center of a very ripe guava (excluding the seeds). It is slightly grainy, a bit slippery, very sweet and very soft. The seeds are scattered through the fruit flesh; the seed coats are blackish-brown, 12 - 18 mm (0.47 - 0.71 in) long, and hard and shiny.
