speedy says... I'd definitely grow one if I could as I love the taste and smell of petai, especially in Sambal Udang. I seem to recall someone years ago telling me that they can take up to 20 yrs to fruit. ... dont know for sure. Do you have spares?.... or let me know where to get some? a friend in FNQ may want one or two to plant on his block... | About the Author Nth Vic. 9th December 2009 11:55pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

A local here just told me everything grows so well in Tully , you can half the time to bear , and double the size of anything !!

Speedy says... Alan Carle...should've guessed that he'd have it. :-) Cupuacu....Nice one! I have often wondered if that was being grown in Aust. somewhere up north. friends have told me that it's delicious, they were working in Ecuador at the time (1992), but unfortunately they didn't get the opportunity to bring some seeds back for me. Well at least I know it's potentially available | About the Author Nth Vic 10th December 2009 9:55pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Roger says... Hi Speedy and Trikus, My best petai tree is pictured. It copped a smack in cyclone Larry but regrew. They need a bit of care to get established and they are extratropical. I know of less than 20 trees in Australia and most have not fruited. My tree is 5 years from seed.

MIke T1 says... There are a few fruiting around in NQ including rice sator and another thai one but no indonesian types.I had a few in the yard but ditched them in favour of sweet fruit before they flowered a few years ago. I do recall 4 or 5 years ago an acquaintance had dozens of seedlings and I wonder what happened to them all. | About the Author MIke T1 cairns 25th April 2015 7:33pm #UserID: 10744 Posts: 250 View All MIke T1's Edible Fruit Trees |
