Any Info on Clavija euerganea?

[elouicious]

Bought a seed in October of last year and it just sprouted-

I got the seed from tradewinds

An interesting rain forest tree, with bright orange, round fruits having orange pulp that looks like marmalade. The fruits grow to about an inch in diameter. Little information is available about this species. The fruits could be edible, as several other Clavija species have edible fruits, but care should always be taken with unknown fruits. Native to mid-elevation tropical forests in South America. Short, bushy growth to 6-12 ft / 3-4 m.

All I know is that the Clavija seeds I bought from Trade Winds two or three years ago did nothing for me except rot after a while. I don't think I bought Clavija euerganea, though, since mine was described as an edible species.

I could have sworn this one rotted- was very surprised to see a sprout-

I got it because of the unknown cold tolerant while growing at a relatively high elevation and it seems a good candidate for container culture given the bush-like habit

Seeds apparently have a long germiantion time with this one coming up ~6 months later

I give all my seeds plenty of time to germinate, but, in this case, my Clavija seeds turned to mush pretty quickly. However, if I buy any Clavija seeds in the future, I will keep in mind your experience with delayed germination.

I'd expect nothing less W.

Mine still haven't germinated, 2 weeks ago I peeled off the husk. The orange shiny pearls should start to germinate now
