It is a small to medium-sized tree growing to 7–25 m tall. The leaves are narrow obovate, 20–40 cm in length and 10–20 cm in width. Fruit produced as mentioned earlier, is otherwise aptly known as the Box Fruit, due to distinct square like diagonals jutting out from the cross section of the fruit, given its semi spherical shape form from stem altering to a subpyramidal shape at its base.
The species was first described as Echinus cordatum in 1777 by Thomas Pennant. [1] [6] It has subsequently been synonymised with Echinocardium sebae Gray, 1825, [1] [7] Spatangus arcuarius Lamarck, 1816, [1] [8] Echinocardium australe Gray, 1851, [1] [9] Echinocardium stimpsonii A. Agassiz, 1864, [1] [10] Echinocardium zealandicum Gray, 1851, [1] [9] Amphidetus novaezelandiae Perrier, 1869, [1 ...
Males tend to spawn first which then induces females to release their eggs. Spawning stimulation can also be achieved through lightly drying the broodstock followed by exposure to a powerful jet of seawater. [2] [4] Sea cucumbers are dried for 30 minutes in the shade and then are exposed to a powerful jet of seawater for 30 minutes. Usually 60 ...

Many of the fruits below are still eaten locally as they have been for centuries and others are generating renewed interest by eco-friendly gardeners (less need for bug control) and chefs ...
The species has been known to spawn both seasonally and year-round depending on the location of the spawning population. It has been suggested that Diadema setosum populations are temperature-dependent in their spawning seasonalities. Temperatures higher than 25 °C (77 °F) have been cited as a possible spawning cue. [9]
