Welcome back.

My opinion? We'd all love to see some photos of your plants!

Presumably the bark resin has similar properties to other Virola spp. ..?

Seems I was quick to post and should have posted in the garden section
Photos will appear over there,when I get a chance
So let's steer this topic more towards chemical compounds and where and how to retrieve them
The fruits are very similar to nutmegs, just a lot smaller
Makes swim think about some old urban legends Confused
Any thoughts
Respect

You mention urban legend, one that springs to mind is the claim that fresh mace arils contain 5-MeO-DMT and sun-drying them destroys this compound. Virola is indeed a myristicaceous species too.

Nutmeg fruits resemble peaches - are V. surinamensis fruits fleshy as well? Or is the similarity more with the nutmeg kernels?
