Ackee fruits are in extremely short supply for the processing & manufacturing sectors!!!
Hence, we need to plant and grow more ackee trees!!!

Ackee is a native plant of Jamaica and is used in it's National Dish, Ackee and Fish. Ackee is also the National Fruit of Jamaica.
It is usually cooked and used in a similar fashion as eggs. The tree is a great value since Ackee is an expensive fruit and is rarely available fresh, canned Ackee Fruit usually retails for US$8-12 or more per can.

The Dwarf Ackee tree, reaching 10 to 15 ft, is rather hand some, usually with a short trunk to 6 ft ( 1.8 m) in circumference, and a dense crown of spreading branches. Its bark is gray and nearly smooth. The evergreen (rarely deciduous), alternate leaves are compound with 3 to 5 pairs of oblong, obovate-oblong, or elliptic leaflets, 6 to 12 in (15-30 cm) long, rounded at the base, short-pointed at the apex; bright-green and glossy on the upper surface, dull and paler and finely hairy on the veins on the under side. Bisexual and male flowers, borne together in simple racemes 3 to 7 in (7.5-17.5 cm) long, are fragrant, 5 petalled, white and hairy. The fruit is a leathery, pear shaped, more or less distinctly 3-lobed capsule 2 3/4 to 4 in (7-10 cm) long; basically yellow, more or less flushed with bright-scarlet. When it is fully mature, it splits open revealing 3 cream-colored, fleshy, glossy arils, crisp, somewhat nutty-flavored, attached to the large, black, nearly round, smooth, hard, shining seeds–nonnally 3; often 1 or 2 may be aborted. The base of each aril is attached to the inside of the stem-end of the "jacket" by pink or orange-red membranes.
