Evaluation
While the thought of having a multi-bearing tree such as the Fruit Salad Tree sounds intriguing there are a lot of things to consider. Anything that is live like this that is being shipped through the mail, could weaken it and if so then it will not provide fruit and worse still it could die. It does come with a thirty-day money back guarantee which gives you some protection if the tree does not arrive in a healthy state. But it will most likely take much longer than that for it to produce fruit, so you are not protected in this regard

Got one of these through a mail order nursery probably 8 or more years ago. It has grown into a very beautiful tree but we have not gotten one piece of fruit off it. Still don't know if it is self polinating or not, and maybe that's the problem, ...only got one tree..
