Myristica fragrans - Well December isn't the time to go looking. Just visited the tree, very easy to find so thanks for the directions in this thread. It has small, single, yellow flowers dotted around, so I am guessing it is a female. Around the base are plenty of se..3632 days 18hrs
Myristica fragrans - What is the best time of year to visit Cairns in the hopes of collecting some nutmeg seeds? I have passed through Cairns a few times, I don't need much excuse to go again. Thanks..4270 days 17hrs

It is still small, growing in a pot in full sun.  It gets on well with the other plants in the pot, Winter Tarragon, French Tarragon and Thyme.

The leaves are used in cooking, no idea if the plant is male or female and we only have one.

Planted: 2011

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

When I Fertilise: Winter and Spring

Pest Control:

Nothing seems to bother it.

Comments: - Easy to grow, requires little attention and takes up a shady spot.  You can easily process the peppercorns, I get a small amount of pepper each year (dry weight of 68g this year) very strong flavour.The peppercorns can be planted but you get very low germination and they really don't like to be repotted.Mine is a sprawling variety which refuses to grow up a pole.
