Helen starts with ... Hello, I would love to plant a few Capulin cherry trees (preferably the sweeter ecuadorian variety) also Marula trees. I am unable to find these anywhere. Could anyone help with cuttings or seeds? I'm in Brisbane so I will come and pick them up if you are local, or I can send a return addressed envelope. Thanks very much, Helen. | About the Author Helen3 Brisbane 13th July 2010 6:59pm #UserID: 3139 Posts: 8 View All Helen3's Edible Fruit Trees |
Rev says... Im getting a number in around september, so itd be a while till they re-establish i have to buy more than i need to get a good price so ill have extras if you dont have any joy from elsewhere then ill be an option. Theyd be seedlings from Ecuadorian parents. Im hoping to plant out a heap and maybe in a few years ill find some tasty forms - such is the plan anyway | About the Author Rev North Qld 15th July 2010 9:56am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Michael says... Have purchased two shipments of Marula seed, one from Africa (Silverhill Seeds) & one recently from South America on Ebay, have two plants growing from first lot & three have sprouted from second lot. Customs opened shipment from Africa & did not touch the second shipment, seed is allowed into Australia. Soak seed in water for 48hrs & place in mini green house in seed raising mix & you will have plants.

JohnMc1 says... Just my luck, I had an order in the system for a Capulin cherry since 2010. A few became available while I was overseas and all disappeared all but immediately. 1/ Are they worth the chase? 2/ If so would anyone have it growing that could possibly find a small cutting to sell or swap? | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 11th April 2014 9:43pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Jason says... There a volunteer seedlings around my garden, pretty strong weed potential. The only reason it hasn't gone absolutely feral here is because the tree is very much affected by brown rot during flowering which gets rid of 99% of the ffruit production. I don't eat them, not good enough to eat imho but a pretty tree and bird distraction device :). | About the Author Jason Portland 12th April 2014 12:40pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... They might be a tree to have if only for the bird distracting/ornamental properties. I thought I read somewhere that there are improved varieties floating around. Jason, I might take you up on your offer for a seedling if still available?, I have a Jujube rootstock just starting to sprout that you could have a play around with. Not sure what's going to happen to it, on one hand it's just starting to sprout when it should be going into dormancy. johnatcentralcoastskylightscomau | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 13th April 2014 9:43am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
