Davidia involucrata

[Taparyal]

Has anybody tried the fruits of Davidia involucrata.
I heard the fruits are edible (also there isn't to much to eat). I found a tree of Davidia when fruits were already dried and rotten. As i didn't know this plant I took only one kernel. Otherwise would have taken more. From the kernel two seeds sprouted, but one was eaten by a slug outside. The otherone is slowly growing.
Wondered if anybody has tried the fruits of Davidia?

I won't know for another 6-8 years. My tree is only 3 feet tall and they are not known for surviving my location (zone 7b, Raleigh NC).

It should survive!
I have collected my seed frm Germany - where the zone is also somewhere inbetween 6 and 7.
The tree was doing quite well and had no problems with cold

Start flowering when about 10 years old and are fully hardy to -24C or upto -27 C with some protection.
