Thanks, Bob. I read about it, too and the history is certainly
interesting.
Unfortunately, the would-be customer doesn't want the seeds, he wants
an
actual tree and going by his name and the enquiry combined, I think
it
probable he's a Buddhist himself. I think he has probably exhausted
all the
UK possibilities and will have to look abroad.-

If it's not a matter of jam yesterday, perhaps he would contemplate an
offer to cultivate one from seed for him?

/sig and separator removed/

Or perhaps contact the various botanic gardens which have tropical
houses and see if anyone can do an offset for him. I hope he has a VERY
LARGE heated conservatory to house it.

Is the fruit edible/useful?
