Default Re: Chachafruto

São Paulo city is about 1000 mts high...........

I use to keep other Erytrina species that I got in my trips..........like Erythrina mulungu.......E. verna............E. crista-galli..............

I keep these in a more higher place..........1200-1400mts.........that my family use to have a small land............about 50 km from the center..........

Top of the "Serra do Mar"................it´s a high land for us in Brazil............

Atlantic Forest Realm............

I think that Erithryna can adapt very well................

Once they live in harsh conditions............they seems to be very hard plant............

And also they are considered pionner plants.............

I have no experience with Erythrina edulis.............

I hope to get some seeds...........or better..........few small plants..............

I´m trying this contact............Fundacion CIESAM.............. fundacionciesam@yahoo.es

CIESAM - Centro de Investigacion en Soluciones Alimentarias para el Mundo - EcoPortal.net

I send an e-mail yesterday.......and I did not recieved a response yet.........

I´m waiting..........kkkkkkkkk

Another reference is about Luis Enrique Acero Duarte............this man write a Book about Chachafruto...........

Guía para el cultivo y aprovechamiento del chachafruto o balú: Erythrina ... - Luis Enrique Acero Duarte - Google Livros
