Sterculia quadrifida available
« on: November 22, 2013, 09:40:38 PM »
Anybody interested in peanut tree seeds? Nice tree, good nuts. Trees are sporadically fruiting now and will be in full fruit in a few months as most are covered in flowers now.

BMc there are a few from Brazil that seem to have pods and seeds that look remarkably similar.I do see wild ones in drier areas or on sandy soils.

I have the S. striata fruiting for several years now , pods do not turn red they stay brown , seeds are black . A damn big tree , had to prune severely last year was giving too much shade to other fruit trees but it is back to this original height and spread . Considering the low amount of seeds/nuts per pod I have been thinking of removing the tree..
