@Anthony, I happen to live in Brazil.
Brazil is a vast country, almost as big as the USA, and is mostly located between the Equator and the Capricorn Tropic.
Brazilian Rain Trees thrive here, and in the North (near and in the Amazon jungle) there are very big BRTs, much older than 25 years of age.
So, by mere observation, I think they really like humidity and hot weather.
Which means... Tropical!

Look thru some of my BRT posts or look for @JudyB or @Paradox and their posts about the BRT they have been growing.......(psst....cut the top back, let the lower shoots run, cut when you see buds at existing leafs....do it soon if you've not...)
Apex will gather steam and take over.....
But letting 'em run a bit will give good back budding where you might need it.....strictly clip 'n grow here...
Thanks, I'll get on it tomorrow. Should have at least 2 1/2 months outside after to keep growing.Look thru some of my BRT posts or look for @JudyB or @Paradox and their posts about the BRT they have been growing.......(psst....cut the top back, let the lower shoots run, cut when you see buds at existing leafs....do it soon if you've not...)

These seeds are exactly like the ones I was given in Brazil once. (Did not see the pods)
Thank you very much, ordering. ?

Yes, that's the real seeds! I,'m growing quite a few, all from seed.
Thank you, now I hope they will get to my door...
Can anyone please explain what could be the possible reason that suddenly this BRT is throwing very small and stiff leaves. fertilizer/drainage/sunlight everything is as it is for past one year or so?...... It has been more than 30-40 days since when these small and hard leaves are coming......please give your inputs.

Too much water?
its in a big pot but water drains well, every 24 hours the top 2 cm of soil is almost dry......

1. Post your location in your profile. It makes a difference.
2. Tree doesn't like it's soil. Holding too much liquid and not enough oxygen.
3. BRT's near bullet proof, so what ever you have changed, un-change it.
Looks to be a nice tree, don't kill it. Your soil mix looks like mud.
PEACE OUT!

Tree has been in the same mixture for more than a year and was doing well. May be pot is just too big and need to go in smaller one. Pot volume is almost 25 liters.
