So it's another Cerrado tree... Thanks for the info Adam, some of the pictures I have seen of the fruit look close to the pics of the nuaga sapote fruit from Grimal grove, but that tree came from a different part of South America. I guess I will have to get seeds...
There are at least 4 subspecies, and only one is from the cerrado. The one that is from the cerrado didn't survive long for me. I have another 2 subspecies growing fine, one is the gallifructa, the one that looks like a rambutan, and another one, forget subspecies name right now, that is fuzzy on exterior and tastes very similar to an abiu. Both are growing well and getting large, but neither have fruited yet.
PS i've posted about this before with all 4 subspecies names for anyone that wants to search it inside the forum and get further details.

i think the one u saw is gallifructa, and doesn't come from the cerrado...
I had an in ground tamarindo in Orlando, Fl 9b. The seeds were from a tree in Big Pine Key. It flowered its third year in ground and took the cold like a champ. Thankfully, I was ignorant enough to try it.
