Justin Credible Posted June 3, 2016 I recently acquired some FRESH Phaleria clerodendron fruit, while removing the seeds from the fruit I noticed the seeds are pretty much hollow/empty. Is this normal for them or possibly not viable? I have also read that the all parts of the plant are poisonous. Anyone know how poisonous? Should I be wearing gloves while handling the fleshy fruit? Also any tips or advice on propagating if any one has any experience. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted June 4, 2016 I have a big tree I planted that has many flowers but never set a fruit so I have no experience growing it from seed, I'm thinking I may need 2 trees for successful pollination. I would expect sowing them fresh is important and also soaking them overnight wouldn't hurt. One of my favorite trees ever. I've fed fruits to Cassowaries - they really love them. So they prolly aren't poisonous enough to kill you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Credible Posted June 5, 2016 Cheers HD, I acquired the fruits from a tree at tafe and there is only 1 tree present that I am aware. Maybe its a location thing. Another student successfully propagated it last semester but have lost contact with him. I planted some out, so time will tell. Next year I can send you some fresh flowers if you would like to play cupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
