Planting a couple of these next week. They, along with the Ceiba trees I planted yesterday, will be far, FAR away from the house. :winkie:

The Blue Quandong is one of my favourite trees and I found this info very helpful.  I have a couple of young plants about 4 feet high and looking at planting them in my front garden.  Would 6 metres (20 feet) away from the house or driveway be too close for the roots of this tree?  I understand it is a tropical tree with a buttressed trunk, but I live in Bunbury, Western Australia which is a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters so I don't envisage it growing anywhere as big as it would in the tropics.  So unsure if I am going to run into trouble with this magnificent tree.  Has anyone planted this in temperate climates with success?

I want one so bad! I just haven't been to Fairchild at the right time for fruit... :winkie:

Anyone have seedlings they could sell/mail me?

How's this for a late response to this post:

We have two that are the tallest trees in Pinecrest Gardens. They have grown perfectly straight with high canopies and beautiful buttressed roots. The classic tropical forest above-the-canopy looking tree.

They have been extremely storm resistant. Maybe they do best when allowed the protection of other trees around them while young. Once they get big, they're quite strong.

I grew some from seed and planted several trees on my old farm plus one on the street. Maybe it is time to drive by and see if that one is fruiting as I don’t have any trees on my current farm. I remember that they took more than a year to sprout long after I had given up on them!

Missi if I get a bunch I will gladly share. I love the brilliant true blue fruits!!
