Hehe, Yuruga has them being small trees around 4m tall  ;D
This one can take the spot of a rubber tree in the rainforest patch.

Pretty impressive tree. If enough of my Atherton Oak seeds sprout I may try one in the ground at my parents house.

I found a source for seeds of Athertonia diversifolia. $17 shipped. Not sure how many come in a pack. Anyone know if they are tough to germinate?

As i recall most of the seeds i got germinated, but they took some time.

Did you file down the shell at all or just plant them as is.

I didn't nick them and they germinated fine, but took long time. So you probably would speed up germination by nicking them.

Lots of trees that are rainforest giants never get big outside of that environment.I think they are slow to germinate and I would not crack Athertonia seeds first.
