Lovely! I have a Leycithis zabucajo (paradise nut) that has made the neat monkey pots in the past. It is now so tall I can't even see when it fruits.

I have a small tree, not sure which species still in a pot and may try to plant it out and prune it ruthlessly. 

I understand the nuts are related to Brazil nuts and the one time I got to taste them they were good! Now I read that due to the potential for selenium toxicity consumption should be limited? 

Do you eat yours or plant them or both?

Thanks so much for the very nice photos!
