I'm collecting more info on this species. Do you know any of the following:
* How fast it typically grows in good conditions? (Or contrarily, since it's around 8 years to production: how large it usually is when it starts producing). It's apparently fast-growing in its juvenile period?
* How sure are you about that 8 years? Useful Tropical Plants says 10-15 years.
* The flowers are supposedly fragrant. Is it a *good* scent? And how long are the flowering / fruiting flushes? Apparently they're 1-4x per year.
* How long the flowering time, fruit maturation time, or fruiting season is?
* The breeding system is supposedly "mainly dioecious" but sometimes yielding hermaphrodite flowers on the male inflorescence - do you know how common this is, and how the (quantity? quality?) of the fruit on the males compares to the females?
* Anything about its desired cultivation environment?
* Since it's normally grown for its seeds in most places, I presume the seeds take up a good chunk of the fruit? Were the seeds problematic in eating it?
* Compared to how much space the trees take up, how productive would you say they are? I'm sure you don't have actual yield figures, but is there any other (more common) fruit tree you'd compare its productivity to, on a mass basis (taking into account that it fruits multiple times per year)?
Massive tree. Apparently can get up to 60m and 120cm in diameter, not counting buttresses. Also apparently uses the same trick as coconuts; its seeds float and can be distributed by the waves.
It's surely not a plant for us here ("large" x "long time to fruit" x "fast growing during that time" x "potential risk"), but still interesting enough to collect info about
