Thanks for the input.Brazil eh. Long way from Australia. Ive read that the seeds don't last long once they leave the fruit. This seems to be the main problem that stops wider spread and use of the fruit. The trees exist in Australia mainly in the northern tropical area. Where I live is classified as sub tropical, although we can still grow a very wide range of tropical fruit. I thankyou again for the interest will contact you again to see if its possible for you to send seed if that's ok by you.By the way do single trees fruit or do you need 2 or more to get fruit ,thanks again.Lucky you.

I'd also be interested in trying to source one of these in Australia, what would you say their ideal climate is to grow in/what's the chance of one growing/fruiting in a temperate climate?

Mammea americana plants need two to make "company". I have never tested the germination time. Fruits fall on the ground when ripe and if left in place I have seen the seeds sprout during the rainy season which follows in 2-3 months

I cant believe there is no one growing this worthy fruit. Judging by overseas reports the tree is freely available. What might be the limiting factor in Australia.

@ David, my guess would 100% be customs/quarantine, either the ones that have made it through haven't germinated, the rest has either been seized.

I highly doubt no ones tried to buy some $2 seeds or something, i'd imagine it's similar to Guava varieties, everywhere I asked just said they couldn't ship them due to quarantine etc.
