My dad and I have successfully sprouted seeds we brought from Dominica. Seems to be doing fine. It's a nice tasting fruit, I'm just wondering if anyone else is successfully growing this in Florida. Seems like it will do well here.

Don't know if it will do well there, but just wanted to warn you that it gets to be a giant tree. Hope you have a farm lot?

I've got one that self seeded itself in my yard and the other's in a pot. I'll find a place for them in my neighborhood. I don't have a farm lot, but I'm planting things all around my area haha

Any updates on this? Anyone else growing it?

I have a seedling ready to plant out. I've eaten quite a few in the Caribbean. Not a staple for me but OK to have.

Thanks for sharing. The fruit is just part of the gifts of the tree, there are plenty of medicinal uses as well.

Hi All,

Does anyone have any seeds for sale, or know of a reliable source/vendor.

Thanks.
