If anyone in Melbourne would like a 3ft tall Ice Cream Bean plant for free they're welcome to it. It really needs to go to a milder climate than I have here (snowing today) and should do well in a frost free area in the city. Pick it up if you're passing through. Attractive plant with pulpy fruits which taste like vanilla icecream. Thanks, Phil (Woodend/Mt Macedon, Vic).

I've been looking into this plant but did not purchase it as understand that it's not likely to fruit in Melb. However, if you're giving it up, I'd like to try and grow it in a pot to be moved indoors/outdoors. But as I probably can't make it out there for a few weeks, if it's still available and not dead by then, I'd be grateful to have it. (But if anyone else can take it in the mean time, they should - the earlier it's moved to a warmer place, the better).

Hi Gardener
I could send you some seed if you like, I live up near Murwillumbah in Nth NSW and there is a tree not far from where I live. Will look out for some ripe pods, should be easy enough to germinate. I think from memory I bought my ice cream bean from Green Patch organic seeds by mail from Taree in NSW.
