Sharolyn T on Oct 12, 2014@R.V.R. Farris Thank you so much for your response and the link! I am so glad to have the proper name of my trees. We have lots of people ask about them because they are very pretty trees. Now I'm wondering what to do with the seeds...if anything. I wonder if it is normal for trees that are not native to our country to be found here in the U.S.?Helpful Reply

Doris on Oct 15, 2014I can give you my phone number or email. When you are coming through I could meet you in Buffalo, would love to have some seeds. Is this coming directly to you or on the net. I really don't want to give my # or email out to everyone.Helpful Reply

Marilyn K on Dec 28, 2014I have one in my yard. I just love mine. The seed is highly poisonous if ingested. Handle seed very carefully. Best to handle as a whole seed. South MS had huge orchards for market before Hurricane CAMILLE. They were wiped out.Helpful Reply

Marilyn K on Dec 29, 2014Tung oil had uses at time of storm but don't know if it is still used to process . They are only invasive if you leave on ground for shell to rot. I just have a few trees (3). I love to pick up and give away. The other shell is not poisonous just inside seed.Helpful Reply
