Where to get Safou?

[Raulglezruiz]

After talking about this one with a forum member change my mind and want to grow this one, I was lazy because is dioecious, but I was told they have lot of diversity and great flavor besides fruiting in only three years if well care, any one knows sources of seeds?

Really Ajesh? I was told they taste nice like avocado did you know that they have to go through the Dabai process in order to get the real flavor?

I should have seeds available in 1-2 weeks. The seeds are very delicate, so if anyone wants them suggest express mail.

Raul, you should take that with a grain of salt. People in India also do not like avocado!

Raul,

Tradewindsfruit.com charges an arm and a leg for this species, but this seed is almost always germinating on arrival if not in transit! I have 4 trees now, only one seed did not make it after sowing.
I have read the fruit can be variable, but the shear number of nutrient and calorie dense fruit that a mature tree can produce is staggering. That and what Oscar said may be true about taste preferences, but also ADD some salt to the fruit and apparently they taste more like avocado!

Cheers!

Yes, thank guys, I think taste are subjective, or in Spanish "en gustos se rompen generos" I find it attractive as a source of calories, then I was disappointed when I knew it was dioecious, but talking with a lady member from Costa Rica she told me that trees fruit for her in 3 years only so that's not a lot of time, she also told me trees are not big and can be prune easy...

Yes, u are right Raul.. I like Avakado very much.. And I don't think both having similar taste..
