When reading about the anthracnose susceptibility of different cultivars of mango, I noticed that one article recommended that an additive be used to help the copper stick to the waxy surfaces of the plant better. And come to think of it, when I do apply copper I notice that most of it beads up and rolls right off.
Who uses an additive and what exactly is it? Seems like a horticultural oil would maybe work?
Fascinating clumpy little balls of fruit. Would be great if u could taste one.....

Yes, you are right about the leaf shape. Leaves look more like some type of Vasconcellea. But the fruits in your photo don't look clustered around the tree trunk as is the case with Vasconcellea. Maybe one of the nursery workers at the arboretum could tell you what it is?
Haven't gone into that section or seen this tree. Could it be some species of Jacaratia?
I've always wanted to try exploding nangka, prainea limpato but my seeds didn't survive the transit from Borneo. Best looking fruit in the world. RD said it is a really good fruit.
Elaeagnus trifoliata
