I picked seed pods from a tree growing in Kona, Hi. I wasn't sure if they were mature enough, but I broke them open and planted the seeds. The germination rate was very good. They are still very young seedling so I am not sure how they will grow in my area which is different from Kona. They are also growing in the Hilo area of Hawaii.
