Canarium schweinfurthii for trade only
« on: August 18, 2014, 09:33:55 AM »
Canarium schweinfurthii seeds available for trade. This is one of the best fruits in central Uganda, and have a nice olive taste.

Not a container tree as it grows to 40+ m.

Photos are old but all the same ;-)

Should add that the tree is an overstory tree which doesn't compete med crops; being self-pruning it provides a nice shadow and have been used for reforestation programmes around the world.
The nut is edible but smaller than most of the other relatives, and it is the pulp which is enjoyed the most. Absolutely a top-fruit.!

The seeds have been mailed :-)
