Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Maz Nutmeg is native to the spice islands (Banda) in Indonesia where the average temperature is between 25c-28c and the average rainfall is high (1734mm) per year. It is hot and humid. So that's the ambient weather conditions that myristica fragrans is accustomed to. But to a keen and diligent gardener it's not impossible to grow nutmeg in your area. Just keep up with copious watering and shelter the young tree from the hot scorching afternoon sun. All Rare Herbs Nursery is selling them through reservation this coming spring but, not for W.A. unfortunately for you. Happy Gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 28th March 2018 6:44am #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Maz I'm afraid Trikus is right. Myristica fragrans is ultra tropical like Tahitian chestnut, pulasan etc. It might not survive Perth's harsh climate. But if you think you have a slim chance you can still try to prove us wrong. Your success might help other people to do the same but first you have to source one, that in itself is already a huge challenge. Again, happy gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 28th March 2018 3:34pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... The seeds are sometimes stocked in season from Fruitlovers in Hawaii. You should order them with international express postage though it costs a bit extra though worth it for short lived seeds. They could be in season again in a few months from now.I would only try it if you had a heated greenhouse. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 30th March 2018 5:14pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
