Awesome! You'll quite probably be the first to fruit them in the USA.
I spoke with Paul Noren at length about junglesop. He has not yet confirmed it is dioecious but he is strongly suspicious that it is. He also commented that junglesop can be very good or very bad so it is important to get seeds from a good tree to increase your probability of getting palatable fruit.John
Aw, man. I was hoping that the reason that these usually take at least 10 years to fruit was because they grow slowly; if so I'd be able to start one and while it would take a long time, it wouldn't take up too much greenhouse space in the meantime. But after seeing how FlyingFoxFruit's trees have put on a good chunk of a meter per year, I guess that's not an option!I'm also curious as to how his trees are doing. They looked pretty healthy in the last pics.
Adam,Did the junglesop tree survive Irma?

They looked pretty healthy in the last pics. they weren't going to be something that I propagate, and they were getting so large, i decided to sell them both...the person that got them is in a much better area for growing them, so they actually have a chance to fruit...but they chose to remain anonymous, I don't know if they share pics.
HELP!I first ordered 2 seeds from tradewinds fruit. They arrived partially sprouted but when i planted them in soil (fresh sterilized soil) they quickly rotted and were eaten by insects. I searched and searched until I found a contact in Cameroon that sent me some Anondinum Mannii seeds. It took over a year to search, find a contact, and then actually obtain a pile of seeds. I managed to get 25 seeds and have had them in soil for about 6 months. Today I decided to checkup on some of them since I have not noticed any sprouting. As I feared, the ones that I checked on seem to have rotted and made no progress rooting. Where can I find information about how to germinate and grow these trees? Also, is there any advice on where to find good quality seeds? I have not had this kind of problem with other seeds and I live in Hawaii on Oahu so I have a warm tropical climate available that should be a good growing climate for these plants. I wonder if I should have peeled off the outer shell or somehow scoured the seeds?Please offer any advice on purchasing good quality seeds and on how to germinate and grow these trees.Mahalo
