Since I didn't receive anything at all, I was asking you if and when you shipped the packet.

Thanks,

Giampaolo

Never eaten it. This is a super rare plant outside of Africa. It grows in equatorial west Africa. Popular fruit in Nigeria, sold in markets.

Post by: Annonaceae on February 13, 2018, 08:24:43 PM: Oscars right, in my experience with African collectors in a number of years, this species has never been located. It is pretty RARE and hard to get. Get it while you can.
