I live in Sebastian FL and planted a few nuts I picked up in Hati, in one year they are over 6 ft. tall. It's a very beautiful tree!

*This 62y.o. Southern Californian native, used to spend the month of January surfing, and living off the land in Hawaii.* *On the North E. shore of Kauai I hung a hammock in this tree, and the ground had these seeds all over like gravel.* *I was living off coconuts mainly, but one day I decided to crack open one of these seeds (just as you did, but with rocks).* *I noticed this thin white nut inside , and not knowing anything about it, decided to just nibble a very small bit of it.(for a taste test)* *I thought WOW, it tastes good, and described it to my brother, and friend, who were watching me be the "Guinea Pig", as a thin almond & coconut flavored nut.* *From then on, any time we were in that area, we would collect a bag each of those nuts, just to have on hand for a snack, and referred to them as; "Hawaiian Almonds".* *Very interesting video, as I've never heard anyone talk about, or even mention what these nuts are called.* *Now I know. - Thank you.* *Thumbs up # 175*

Where have you been?? I've missed your videos! Glad to see you're back.

It is really good to see you Deane! You sould see how big that Surinam Cherry has gotten since that one seed I obtained from that first class years ago. I'm going to have attend another class with you soon.

I don't mind the indoor parts of the videos at all. As long as you spend enough time, showing and identifying traits of the plant in nature, you can spend all the time you want indoors, discussing it. Some video makers, just use stock photos and zoom and pan and expect people to be able to identify them. While still photos can hold enormous value, when that is your only source, sometimes, it isn't enough. A great example is the fruit/seeds of this plant. You showing video footage of them, makes identifying them a million times easier. Still photos of such simple looking things, could be deceiving, since it is the most minor of details that you have to notice, which can go unnoticed in still photos. However, still photos of the trees growth pattern, is 100% useful.

Thanks to your hard work on KZfaq & of course website, I’ve been learning a lot & appreciate your in depth info! About this tree … I’m from Kuwait & I remember in the 90s when anyone travel to Bahrain they will bring “Bahraini Almonds لوز بحريني “ as a souvenir … at that time (in the 90s) I was a teenager & all my peers & young kids are big fan of the red Fruit that tasted something like a Prickly pears & pomegranate , I think it’s a unique cultivated type but the fruit is smaller in size than what you showed in the video! It’s rotten pretty easy in about 1/2 a week so it’s usually shared between everyone so less wasted! By the way , we never eat the seed inside ! We just eat the spongy outside as kids! Come to think of it , only kids & teenagers boys eat the fruit & mostly boys , it’s rarely eaten by adults or girls 🤔

Yesss!! Dr. Glassman is back!!

found you . native plant society comes for you

the legend has not retired....

You're back! Yay! Thank you! Love your videos so much!

I'm originally from the West Palm Beach area, living near Orlando now. I just found out about it last year, and figured that it wouldn't grow up this way. I've been wanting to try it since then.

Those trees grow like wild fire here in Puerto Rico, tasty but a pain to crack open 😂. Curiously i was showing my kids how to open and eat them

Wow I remember seeing these on Oahu.

UU you're back!

Awesome video

Ahhhhh the man is back!

You must not have any squirrels there. The fruits of this tree would never hit the ground up here.

I had these in the Bahamas. They're tasty.

I love it 😍

They are also commonly called Okari Nut

true cedars also grow in layers like that.

You have to hit it on the sides so it spits in two and it doesn't damage the seeds inside.

nice

name is KETAPANG

💚

Cool. I've never even heard of this tree before. It looks very unique. It looks like hitting it with an object, MAY not be the best method. It LOOKS like something like a box cutter may be better (to prevent breaking the seed), but I have no idea, because I didn't even know these existed until I saw this video. When it comes to safety, a broken seed is better than a cut hand, so maybe hitting it is smarter.

Where is this place your talking about where you don't hear anything but your feet an animals ?. Thx for the info on this, will look for one here in Cen Fla, thx for the vid

Invasive refers to plants that take over another plants "niche" or spread too rapidly. If it wasnt doing that it would be called naturalized. It may still be called that if by the time it spreads as far as it wants to nothing goes endangered because of it doing so

👍

Is anyone familiar with Slippery Elm? I think I have a Slippery Elm tree in my yard. It looks like the pictures online. But when I break leaves or branches, it smells like Birch Beer. Could it be a Birch tree? Also, would like to use it for tea, possibly. How do I go about doing this? Thanks

Make sure you get plenty of black mold on it while you eat them to build up your immune system. LOL, just kidding, thanks G.D. 15:00 , you mean to say that's a green screen? LOL
