Sterculia FoetidaAlso known as: Wild Indian Almond, Java Olive, Poon Tree, Hazel Sterculia,
Jungli Badam (Bengal), Peon
Here is an attractive, umbrella-shaped, spreading deciduous tree that can grow up to 40 meters tall, but is usually smaller. The straight, cylindrical bole is up to 90 cm in diameter. Its distribution is from northern Luzon to Palawan and Mindanao, in most islands and provinces along the seashore and in semi-open forests at low and medium altitudes. Also reported in India to tropical east Africa through Malaya to northeastern Australia.
A multi-purpose tree, it is often harvested from the wild, providing a popular food, as well as medicine and a range of materials for local use. The timber is easy to cut, but not durable. It is used locally to make items like canoes and hut doors. Fibres extracted from the bark can be processed into rope. The leaves can be used as fodder. The plant is often cultivated as an ornamental in many parts of the tropics, even though its flowers are malodorous. Also used as a bonsai tree that makes for a interesting potted plant.
This tree has many great features, beautiful foliage, smooth bark, and green/purple flowers. The large green pods will turn bright red with age and then split open to expose the olive looking seeds that will also turn color making for an ever changing show.
The large seeds are surrounded by a tough, parchment-like skin. The elliptic seeds are about 25mm long and 12mm in diameter at the center. The seeds can be eaten raw, roasted or fried. They are oily and have a pleasant, cocoa-like flavor, but are not bitter. When roasted, it tastes like peanuts. If eaten in too large a quantity, however, it can have a laxative to purgative effect. An edible non-drying oil is obtained from the seed. A bland, sweet-tasting, yellow oil with rather a high melting point. It has similar properties to, and can be used in the same way as, olive oil.
The rootstock of young plants can be eaten raw, in which it has a rich source of starch.
This species should be planted in fertile, well draining soil that is kept moist. Apply mulch near the base to help retain soil moisture. Specimens require large amounts of space to grow properly and make great shade trees. USDA Zone: 10 30° to 40°F (-1° to +4.5°C)
This offer is for 5 large seeds.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas.
But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way.
Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
