Have a plant growing at my home near the Daintree area.Beautiful flowers and fruit.There is some growing outside the Cairns library also.Will try to propagate some seeds.Not sure of their nutritional requirements though.

My Gustavia flowered for the first time last year and set some lovely seeds. I didn't have any luck in propagating them though. Its in flower again so I will try to grow from seed this year. I didn't realise that the pulp was edible. I'll try this as well
