trikus says... Yes a tree of the Amazon jungle , and very few in cultivation here in Aus. I know of a few recent sproutings and a tree near Daintree. Wikipedia mentions the poor crops from plantations and the need of pollination assistance from many other species . Pics from a mate who lives in Manaus , show a roadside stall selling brasil nuts.

micarle says... From what i have been told about the two trees near where i live, cutting's were smuggled into the country by a relative and two plants struck. Both are around 10m+ , One of the plants is in an area that gets from and drops its leaves in winter, the other is in a more sheltered position and only drops some leaves. My dad has eaten nuts off these trees so i'm really keen to get a plant going. I live in an area with no frost and good deep soil. | About the Author 19th May 2010 7:05am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Phil@Tyalgum says... Sounds promising, the nuts are the highest provider of selenium as well, that anti cancer agent lacking in Australian soils. Pollination may be a problem here tho, you need a bee strong enough to force its way into the flower which have a highly evolved relationship with the local pollinators in South America. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_nut
