rev says... Ive got trees too several cola accuminata and one C nitida all in pots still waiting for a home they are from imported seed from west africa this year il get some of my own sent over but i bought these pregerminated from www.herbalistics.com.au from another source i have bitter cola, which is Garcina kola these seed ive imported from cameroon, i have about 8 up so far and ill import more seeds this season so next season ill have spares all things going well ill post some pics... i havent tasted the cola sp But my made made a macerated tincture in vodka and reckons its tasted great its a healthy stimulant except for the tannins. But maybe with some basic manipulation of an extract one could crash out the tannins which is the only problem with it healthwise. | About the Author Rev North qld 26th August 2010 5:15pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Steven says... Hi I just checked out that website. it seems really interesting they have alot of different plants that you cant get. Ive always wondered about cola trees. what do you do with the seeds once the fruit is ripe. do they need to be processed in any way? I might get a tree or two, if i can find the room.

Steven says... I bought one, ive got it outside in a pot. Its only a seedling and its grown a little but not much, but it seems fine so far. We have also has a cold summer so im not surprised it hasnt grown much. If you get one it should be fine but grow it in a pot at least until its quite large. That way you can bring it inside when u need to. And if you want to put it outside once its large plant it somewhere warm and sheltered. Personally ive found that most tropicals grow well here during the spring summer but you have to care for them alot more than any other tree. | About the Author Steven Eastern Melbourne 27th February 2011 11:24am #UserID: 704 Posts: 325 View All Steven's Edible Fruit Trees |
