We got nuts for the first time last fall.  They are larger than a pea.  The
flavor isn't bad, but I'd take a madamia any day.
Not sure what it takes to pollinate and produce nuts.  Might be it prefers
drier weather as I haven't seen any nuts forming this year with a very wet
spring.   Hector Black  zone 6  middle TN
