I sent an email. It might be to your work address though? I should have more details in a few days.

Whoops, I'll have to retract my last statement. There are trees in NQ but still dont know the whereabouts of any bearing trees in NQ  :(
There is a seed source in NQ, but the seeds come via Cameroon.

It would take a bit to eat a 30lber.There is supposed to be much variation in quality between trees that is genetic not environmental.

Does anyone know if they need cross pollination, etc? I'm trying to figure out how many seeds to buy.  ;D
I'll buy some and then post pics to confirm its all above board and I've got the real deal. Then PM me if you want details of the person and are happy to risk that the seeds will be viable after travelling from Africa to Cairns and back to wherever you are...

Mike - the photo appears to be of Annona senegalensis. The sucker is photographed here; http://www.flickr.com/photos/36517976@N06/3515148382/#in/photostream/

I am not familiar with the degree of self-fertility for other Annonaceae than Annona spp., but assuming it behaves like species from this genus; I guess more than one tree would be required.

Soren I am glad you cleared that up because the picture seemed out of sinc with other photos I had seen of it and thought it represented variability within the species.

I wonder if Troy (who sells the seeds) or someone else have any information regarding if they are recalcitrant or not?

Soren do you ever see masuku (Uapaca kirkiana) or gingerbread plums (Parinari spp.) in your neck of the woods an is A.senegalensis a worthwhile fruit?

Yes, I have seen Uapaca kirkiana but not tasted it - it is not uncommon in parts of Uganda - the Parinari I have encountered is Parinari excelsa which is consider lesser than others when it comes to fruits. And regarding Annona senegalensis it is consider one of the better, though a lot of variation exists and Annona stenophylla is suppose to be even better. I have been chasing the last for years with no luck - it doesn't grow here in Uganda but next door in Tanzania.

Soren thanks for the info,I have seen references to these species/genera several times and know that further south in places like Zambia they are appreciated.

Some happy snaps from Cairns

I recognize the coin, but what are the other things? Are the big seeds the annonidium seeds? What are the smaller seeds?

I believe that the location of Junglesop (Anonidium mannii) in Hawaii would be the property of the daughter of Bill Whitman.  She would also have several other rare Annonaceae.  She is a Hawaiian airline pilot.

Small seeds are of 'bush pineapple'. I was asked to id a verbal description of a tree that had wrinkly yellow fruit like a pandanus, and were originally collected from africa, planted by an oldschool collector some 30 years ago. 99% its myrianthus arboreus.

Bruce - the seeds of M. arboreus are fairly big, see http://postimage.org/image/ku99p60vl/; there are several other Myrianthus species but with smaller fruits - now I am not sure 'how big' a US $1 coin is, but could the seeds be from one of the smaller species.?

They looked exactly like that, but around half the size - so probably a smaller fruited species?
The $1 coin is about the size of a US Quater?

Could be intraspecific variation but likely a different species; I have a key for myrianthus holstii and m. arboreus if you have access to the parent trees..?

Hi, I just jointed Tropical Fruit Forum but have been a lurker for a while now. BMc, if you do get some seeds from your source, that would be great if you would be willing to sell some. It sounds like a lot of people have already inquired, but I thought I'd ask anyway because you just never know.

Good question, I am guessing you got yours a couple weeks ago?

I got one seed from a puddy ol bal of mine.

The seed was big and looked viable ... so I'm hoping for the best...I've been drenching with chelated Fe already and watering with mostly rain water...I really have high hopes to get this one to grow for at least a few years!  I love to see some bark and some big leaves...even if I can't fruit it.

I don't know who the source was for the seed though...although I believe it did come from Africa somewhere... ;)

unfortunately I think they take about 90-120 days to pop if I remember reading right.

Saff it will grow and you can just plant it in potting mix and wait 20 days for the root to emerge and quite a bit longer for the shoot.I heard a rumor that it came from Cameroon and toured the world until it reached you.

thanks for the tip little birdy.
