Aaron Paterson starts with ... Hello I would like to know where in Australia I can buy an ACKEE fruit tree which Jamaican people make food from the fruit. Is there a Nursery in Australia who sells ACKEE FRUIT TREES, also PLANTAIN TREE & BREADFRUIT TREES. Is there a place where I can buy fresh fruit from these trees/plants? I live in Rockhampton, Central Queensland. Thanks for any help given. Aaron C Paterson. | About the Author Aaron Paterson Rockhampton, Qld 16th March 2010 2:06pm #UserID: 3487 |

BJ says... Try this forum ... there was a few people in QLD that had the tree ... http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/ackee-tree/ Apparently Limberlost Nurseries 113 Old Smithfield Road Freshwater, Cairns. 07 4055 1262 sells them too (so says that last forum). You may be able to import seeds (make sure you use the botanical name) but this is going to take time and money - but if you look at the previous post (which I tried to attatch above) there are some people in QLD with the tree - they may be able to provide seeds / suckers / information as to sources. There are also people that sell Jamaican cusine. Good luck | About the Author BJ 16th March 2010 5:02pm #UserID: 3414 View All BJ's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... They used to be around in the past but seemed to have lost favour.I'll have to drive past the park in Moody Street to see if the fabulous akee tree I used to raid is still there.Plantains are fairly standard I thought and there is a large variety of breadfruit and breadnut that tropical fruit growers cultivate around mossman and on the cassowary coast.Limberlost may be the only nursery around with them but exotic groves or mena creek probably would. | About the Author Mike Cairns 5th July 2011 9:34pm #UserID: 0 |
