Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Has anyone fruited a marula tree in the USA?

I'll report back on the taste in a few days, as I am not at home right now.
I do not know yet, when to harvest the fruits, and I believe that I initially tasted a somewhat unripe fruit that I pulled off the tree. The initial fruit was somewhat acidic with a sweet smelling aroma. A few days later, a whole bunch of fruits had fallen to the ground, and they may have sat on the ground for a little while before we notice, and also sat in the heat. I will report back with an update on the taste in a few days. I am also going to try to harvest the nut.

Woohoo, my Marula trees finally fruited this year! The seeds were started in 2014 and planted in 2015. They are hardy and require very little care to thrive in a SW environment. Good luck everyone.
Dang! You pulled this off in san diego? Would love to visit sometime.
