Rare Fruit

Dear All,

Am new to this site and so forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place. I live in victoria and I saw this beautiful tree (Couroupita guianensis) in India during a recent trip. I am looking to find out if this tree is grown in australia? I have read a few articles about this tree in australian websites but none of them say if this tree or its seeds are for sale anywhere.I would be very very grateful if anyone can help me find a place that sells this plant or its seeds, I also found that this is available for sale in the USA. Thanx in advance for your help and apologies if I had posted this at the wrong place.

 Re: Couroupita guianensis (Cannonball Tree)
Hi. I have a young cannonball tree which I bought last year from Helga's (Plant) Nursery at Julatten, which is on the northern most tip of the Cairns Tableland. Her phone number will be in the phone book. I don't know that the tree will thrive in Victoria (the frosts will surely knock it out) but good luck, if you get one/have one!
Regards, Sharon.
