What an amazing tree. I haven't been able to grow any variety of nut trees due to space restrictions but this one looks like it may fit in the backyard orchard if managed properly. Thank you for the knowledge and I hope to pick one of these up from you guys soon.

Hola! 🌿

I'm wondering if you have any tip for growing this plant from a seed. I've been trying to grow this tree species from seeds, but all seedlings dies in a short time. Thanks for any suggestion!

They are sensitive to high nitrogen fertilizer, so avoid any fertilizer high in nitrogen.

Self fertile?
