Have some Tetracarpidium conophorum seedlings to trade
« on: October 17, 2013, 07:57:23 PM »
I have 3 Tetracarpidium conophorum (conophor nut, African walnut) vine seedlings (about 3 feet tall) grown in my Idaho greenhouse using nuts from the Kumba area of Cameroon.  They SHOULD be unrelated, but I'm not positive.
I would like to trade them for Dacryodes edulis (butter fruit, African plum) seeds or seedlings, and/or Synsepalum dulcificum (miracle fruit) seeds or seedlings, or another fruit seeds or plants from West Africa.  Would also be interested in buying any of these outright.
Thanks!

Can you tell us anything about this African walnut? Have you eaten it? How is it? Or anybody else know anything about it?

Nice presentation. Thanks i hadn't seen it. BTW, the pods of the African walnut look very similar to Inca Peanut (Plukenenetia volubulis). Not totally surprising i guess since they are both euphorbia vines.
