Thank you Jay. It will make good kindling if it doesn't start flowering and fruiting soon!

Pedalai get really big. Once they reach around 50ft they take off and grow faster.

Our Pedalai is growing huge here in Darwin. First fruit at about 6 years in the ground. Same as jack fruit it had male flowers the first year it flowered. Male flowers have a very strong scent. Great looking tree but our hot easterly winds smash the large leaves in the dry season.
