Hi! I live in Norway, Scandinavia and am looking to buy a Terminalia Catappa seedling (Tropical Almond or Indian Almond). This plant goes by many names so my lack of success in finding a supplier could be down to me searching under the wrong name. These trees are probably sold in the in the US under a different name. I only managed to find one supplier (Canarius.com) based in the Canary Islands. Here is the link https://www.canarius.com/en/plants/terminalia-catappa-tropical-almond.html They have 2 year old plants in stock which they can send to me but I could not find any reviews or anything else written about them online. Has anyone heard of them or could anyone recommend a better search name or reputable supplier I can try?  Cheers!

I suggest you stick with the Latin binomial as this tree has many confusing common names. It is a tropical tree that can reach 25 meters tall. It is invasive in FL so I won't grow it here. I've never dealt with Canarius but have heard of them and know nothing negative about them. if you can't find seedlings, I suspect you should have little trouble germinating seeds.
