Sarah starts with ... Hi, We have been trying to locate a Soap Nut tree ( also known as Ritha Nut and Chinese Soapbery) in Australia and haven't been able to find one. Does anyone know where we could buy one from?? We live in the subtropics and have heard that they grow well in that climate.

fruitist says... http://www.soapnuts.co.nz/Plant-a-SoapNut-Tree%7C%7Clearn-how-to-grow-your-own-soap/Soapnuts/Grow-a-Soapberry-Tree-SAPINDUS-saponaria.html On the left panel is the seeds link. Click on it. The saponaria sopecies is one of the 2 species permitted by ICON. The real mccoy mukorossi from India not permitted. I think I have seen another of its close relatives in FNQ, one of the rarest plant and considered a holy grail by plant collectors. BJ, if you are thinking of buying the 5 pack saponaria, please let me know. | About the Author 21st February 2011 9:40am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... I gave up on those Amanda because all the info seemed to indicate that it needed a much more tropical climate than I can provide, sigh, we can have a lot but maybe not everything! I think there is another tree someone told me about but no luck tracking down seed yet. How goes the new place? happy with your decision to move? | About the Author Jantina Mt Gambier 13th October 2012 12:07pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jowna says... Hey guys! Been reading all your comments - I'm after a soap tree too! Just tried out their pods as detergent and I'm tickled pink! I live in the nt and have plenty of acerage to plant some, just need to get my hands on some seeds of seedlings while I'm in NSW so I can take it home - takes 2-3 wks to post from the easy coast back home! So.... Any sellers? :)

Ki says... After one disastrous attempt to buy seeds from overseas which were destroyed by Quarantine I asked them which ones were allowed to be imported. These are Sapindus Saponaria and I bought 2 packets very inexpensively from Trade Winds Fruit online. I haven't germinated them yet but fingers crossed in some years I may be harvesting my own Soapberry. | About the Author Ki Tamborine Mountain 31st August 2017 2:54pm #UserID: 15626 Posts: 2 View All Ki's Edible Fruit Trees |
