They are protected in Brazil, and here (I live in Sao Paulo) we can get them only in little packets of 20 seeds each.
But...
It's not difficult to find seedlings or cuttings in Florida.

I've never seen seeds any where.. I would love to grow some from seed.

Try the other Brazilian Tree - bark cracks, fairy like leaves
and NO THORNS.

Sent in Fun

But seriously Brazil has an ironwood, which we use for Bonsai
and it is magnificent.
Get Clicio to send you that one.

Say NO to painful trees.
Good Day

Well, guys, seeds for the BRT are rare because they are controlled here in Brazil, see:
Pithecolobium Tortum - The tree is on the list of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in the category "in critical danger".

Probably one of the easiest plants to get cuttings to root.....why on Earth would you want to grow from seed?

Really? I've had zero luck with cuttings.

I don't know, but probably because they are very fast growers (at least here) and can be trained just by clip'n grow and some guy wires.

Pretty cool trees...I'm jealous!

My seeds traveled only two weeks. After delivery few of them were scarified (nail cutter and hot water) and put in plastic pots.
... just 6 days later...

Merry Christmas to you all.

Is it anything like Caesalpinia Coriaria? Obtained some seeds of this (tropical) tree. As it's the 'national tree' of the Dutch Antilles. Probably pretty common in the Carabian?

Did you use a little green house for cutting? If you didn't, you should try this for every cutting. It works great.
I made cutting about one year ago.


This morning


It already has interesting trunk line in the inferior aspect.


By that, if you can not get the cutting, then you have no choice to get the seed. If you have the choice, get the cutting,
I will transplant this cutting into the bigger pot soon.
