BLUE SAUSAGE FRUIT TREE SEEDS (Decaisnea fargesii) "Dead Man's Finger's" or Sausage Fruit Tree, (Decaisnea fargesii) is an upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that is native to woodlands, thickets, mountain slopes and ravines in western China, Bhutan, NE India, Myanmar, Nepal and Sikkim. This shrub typically grows up to 20' tall and wide. It is primarily grown as an ornamental for its long odd-pinnate leaves, its monoecious flowers in drooping racemes and its exceptional metallic blue bean-like fruit pods. Although individual flowers are not particularly showy, the large racemes in bloom are interesting and attractive. The pulpy flesh is transparent and tastes deliciously sweet and subtle, with notes of cucumber and melon, so it can be utilized in sweet or savory recipes. Undoubtedly though, the fruit's special attraction comes from its incredible blue peel, which is not edible. Grows well in most any soil as long as it's well draining and on the acidic side. Full sun to partial shade, and enjoys staying consistently moist, but not waterlogged. ZONES 6-9Sausage Tree Germination:1) Soak the seeds Soak the seeds in water for 12–24 hours.
