chrysophyllum imperiale tree

[Josh-O]

I was wondering if anyone here on palm talk is growing  chrysophyllum imperiale ? This is one of the most beautiful trees I have seen in a long time. There is a very nice specimen growing in Sydney Australia and Spain. If you are growing this tree can you post pictures here?

 

Cheers,

Josh

Looks like a great tree, Josh.  Any ideas on hardiness?

I would agree, but Sydney's yearly rainfall is much higher that could be an issue with the plants overall performance.

Dear friend,

I have been trying for quite sometime to get a few seeds from this species. If you have a few, i would love to purchase some.

if you ever go to the botanical garden in Sydney, I have been told that the large specimen there has a lot of fruit that just drop onto the ground and people just picked the seeds from there.

hope to hear from you soon.

 

kind regards,

Hernan Gomez

Gostaria de entrar em contato com o proprietário dessa fazenda, na esperança de conseguir algumas sementes dessa espécie, como os frutos amadurecem predominantemente em junho e julho.
