    Dunno about seeds, I've was informed of a few trees along the side of the road near a mall. I collected some leaves, but wasn't looking for seeds.

    I'll see, I don't know if they have seasons or if there is an ideal time to pick them.

    I know that they're sometimes for sale in SA as seedlings, though, which might be a better option. I hear that it's a little easier growing them if you get some that have already germinated.

    I have searched and phoned far and wide seems to be mission impossible.I am aware of the difficulties growing them in S.A. but I'm willing to give it a shot.I grow lots of plants so germination isn't a issue for me,it will be to get it through winter where the problem lies.

    Was going to suggest that taking cuttings is prob the best way to go.
