In India,there is another Pittosporum species-Pittosporum dasycaulon.

Pittosporum phylliraeoides is from Australia.

Never tasted them. Supposed to be okay, if you have space or are in an arid climate.
Nursery down the street sells them for $2

Yes that is the one. A friend of mine is looking at the plant for cancer treatment experiments.

Oh, Gac. I've seen eBay sellers with seeds. It's a cuke type so I would assume it shouldn't be too hard to start from seed. I've considered growing it before.

It's not a Gac plant or fruit.

Oooh I see now, looking at that photo again. Big mistake on my part, genus isn't even the same either.
