My Kayam (Inocarpus fagifer) aka Polynesian chestnut after 14mos on the ground. It's a bit slow growing for me. According to the info it would take 8yrs for this tree to produce its first fruit but flowering will occur from 3-5yrs after planting.
The fruit of Kayam can be boiled and eaten. During the World War II this species is an important source of food to some civilians and cast away soldiers.
Outplanted last year at around a foot tall. It's a slow growing base on my observation.
