The photos present an unknown tree type, a large pod, seeds and 2 views of the leaves. Please provide either the proper name or suggest an alternate site for same. Thanx, Joe
Weird. With the palmately compound leaves, it doesn't look like anything sold at http://www.tropicalfruitnursery.com/index.htm. Try posting that at http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/forum/categories.cfm?catid=8&entercat=y, a gardening forum based in Brevard County, Florida that has some tropical fruit enthusiasts. I can't think of a better tropical forum at the moment. It isn't an Asimina, nor, I think, anything in the Annonaceae. On the other hand, someone here is likely to figure it out!
I'd agree - not an Annona of any sort. Cluso maybe? But the fruits don't fit that profile.... I'll check around the botanic gardens down here, since the leaf structure looks vaguely familiar to me.... Is it edible? Or is that what you're trying to find out?
Ding! Looking at the leaves I thought something in that family was likely. I didn't, however know that their fruits had quarters inside.
B & T World Seeds have these newly named seeds for sale for $5.00 plus shipping. I have new ones available now. After researching the seeds, there are uses for the seeds as a nutrient and medicinal use in some countries.
Nope the quarter is the tip. By the by, Ebay has seeds and plants. My new business venture is squashed.
