This tree produces leathery, boat-shaped pods that ripen throughout summer. They split open to display a beautiful, bright red interior that contains shiny, black, peanut-sized seeds which have a delicious, nutty flavour. It is a fast growing highly ornamental rainforest tree. Indigenous Australians ate the nuts both raw and roasted and used the fibrous bark to make nets.

Attractive, quick growing tree. Semi-deciduous - will lose its leaves briefly in spring just before new spring growth. Flowering April 2010 for the first time.

A dear old lady gave me the tree in a pot when she left town. 6 years later it has producted it's first boat shaped pod with seeds. What any amazing colour. Doesn't get alot of love or water. Kingaroy Queensland

Grows well in a pot. I rarely water it, and have never re-potted. Still growing well after approx. 5 years!
