What can I do with this?

Post by jawsum »

I brought this seed pod home from Cuba about 18 months ago, I picked it fresh off the unknown tree.
Whilst it would be a shame to break it open because it's quite a nice souvenir in it's own right, I would like to have a go at growing whatever it is ????
Judging by the ribs there seems to be around 27ish seeds contained within.

Any tips / ideas ?

They sell these at the Eden project as a rattle so perhaps use it as a musical instrument!

It looks like something a west african tree pangolin coughed up?

But good luck with growing it whatever it is.

I've heard the only way to get them to flower in the uk, is to mulch them with rocking horse shi........

Should be easy enough with a large heated greenhouse!
