Several thousand seedlings had been sent to Puerto Rico, St. Croix, various part of tropical America and Asia (including Ceylon), and the Philippines. Apparently few survived. Only in its homeland is the ilama commonly grown in dooryards, occasionally in orchards of 100 trees or more. Dr. Victor Patino took seeds from Mexico to Colombia for planting in the Cauca Valley in 1957. In spite of early enthusiasm for this species, it is seldom mentioned in horticultural literature. In 1942, there were no more than 50 trees in southern Florida, only 3 of bearing age. In 1965, Dr. John Popenoe, Director of Fairchild Tropical Garden, brought seeds from Guatemala and raised a number of seedlings for distribution, but the tree is still quite rare in Florida. It is too tender even for southern California." 205 2011. Wu, Z.Y./Raven,P.H./Hong, D.Y. (eds.). [Does the species have a history of repeated introductions outside its natural Flora of China.
