When does yours flower (what month)? I have one in the ground 6 years or so and this year finally growing aggressively.

The tree pictured above is about 5 yrs old and 40 ft. tall and is bearing fruit .... Mine is a seedling about 1 1/2 yrs old and not fruiting yet

Can't wait to taste the fruit ... am keeping several trees and sharing the rest my yard can't handle that many tall shade trees or nothing else will fruit  LOL

Happy Gardening,

I have huge tree here.  The fruits are start ripping.  MOST of my neighbors love them.  I give them out every years.  Anyone live close to the area here, feel free come over and pick them.

The seeds are very easy to germinate.

HUGE would not be an exaggeration !!!

How old is the tree ?  when did it start fruiting? Does it bear heavily each year ? And would you please share your favorite recipe

Thanks for sharing, Pink

It is old, the tree was this size when I brought the property.  Those new branches about 8 years old.  I just eat them as I pick them, fresh.  Taste like light coconut.
