Sckel, eu gosto muito delas também. Esta árvora está em uma praça daqui, e eu sei de outras em outros lugares. Vou procurar saber como se faz para cultivá-las, e depois te conto (se for o caso, te mando umas sementes).
Onde voce encontrou essa espécie, Sergio? É rara. Comia muito a fruta quando era criança, é meu sonho te-la em meu quintal ou ao menos sentir o gosto da fruta novamente. :(
