Safou

I really wanted to grow Safou trees because I had read how good the fruit was to eat. I had heard it described by friends who had tried it as like mashed potato and butter' or like herby Avocado'. I had been looking for seeds or seedlings for a while when I found them at Daleys. They like warm and humid. I live on the Atherton Tablelands and I will put them in a greenhouse with a mister in the cooler months until they are more established. I would like to buy more seedlings in the future.
