There are several mature araza trees growing "wild" on the side of the road to my farm here. They are obviously "volunteers" because I doubt anyone would intentionally plant them in the rough conditions where they are growing. They produce wonderful fruit most of the year, and the quality of the bright and relatively blemish-free fruit and carefree nature of the trees is quite impressive. I have tried to grow them from seeds but without success to date. Maybe I'm just being too careful with them, judging by what I would say are really lousy conditions where the trees are thriving wild here. It's funny, but the trees do propagate themselves from seed, but the ground is so damn hard and rocky that I can't dig the seedlings up to transplant them without damaging them. They are definitely worth growing! Outstanding fragrance and flavor!
