He said that they are easy to get growing, but you have to get the seeds after then have passed through the guts of a mammal (in most cases, elephant). Also he said elephants tend to wear off the bark around the base which can kill the trees, although it was not clear why they do this. The pods are pretty big and heavy, so although the tree gives great shade you should be careful when sitting underneath (or camping) as the pods can do you head (or your tent) a lot of damage if they fall from the upper branches...
