Speedy says... I know the plant, but have never seen it in Aust. Your best bet would be FNQ as it only grows in the lowland tropics. I don't think that it would do very well in Sydney without winter protection/heat , and it would be too big for a hothouse before it fruited. Try Nth Qld or NT nurseries or plant collectors/growers. | About the Author Speedy Nthn Vic. 20th January 2012 10:04pm #UserID: 2305 Posts: 250 View All Speedy's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Mike, I wouldnt be surprised if it is growing in the Torres Strait and maybe even the NPA (with the war/post war migration). Its distribution is right to the south coast of PNG, and I'd be surprised if it wasnt traded on to the islands, especially being a nut and it being in places they regularly traded for timber, carved goods and food. Some of the Melenesian community may even have it growing in and around Cairns. I was thinking of bringing in seed from Borneo and trying it here, but cant really work out from ICON if they would be okay or require phyto and methylbromide treatment... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 15th February 2013 9:18am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... Years ago in Auckland some fresh nuts were brought in from fiji by an indian fruiterer. Because the husks had all been removed by machete only one was entire enough to grow. It grew very vigorously in a greenhouse. I forgot what happened, maybe I sold it. I got the impression it was tropically tender. I have not seen them imported again. I noticed in the pacific islands, that there was much machete damage on the roots of the trees from trimming of the nuts. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 12th October 2019 1:19pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
