Frank says... Thankyou "trikus" for the encouragement especially that they self seed. How long from planting a seed to being big enough to harvest some leaves please? Next Q could be;- would you our suggest our buying a plant or would you suggest posting some seeds? or both? Thanking you, Frank and Nina | About the Author Frank Toowoomba 17th June 2008 12:09pm #UserID: 1048 Posts: 8 View All Frank's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... I collected some seeds , but the berries had not ripened enough and the seeds were not mature enough . I will try and get some seeds from a local lady , if she comes to the next Monster Msarket at Mission Beach . She has to ford a river in a tractor and load up her van in the dark to bring things to the market . BUT what a choice selection of rare exotics she has !!! Durio graveolens and all sorts of other exotics from Borneo , that she collected herself .. | About the Author Trikus Tully 14th July 2008 10:45am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... Frozen seeds would not have much of a chance of sprouting . There is sometimes seedling Durian trees available here for a reasonable price , and I got some very rare ones recently , Durio obolongatus and Durio graveolens , only $30 ea. I have not planted them yet , and supply is very limited . I hope to get a few more . You would have no chance of growing a tree to maturity up in Toowoomba , you better think of shifting up to the tropics , still cheap land around here . Michael [ trikus mikus ]
