Mercury_Group - US Plantation, Peanut Butter Fruit Bunchosia Armeniaca Potted Tree Plant

You are purchasing one 3-9 inches tall (pot height is not included) Peanut Butter Fruit (Bunchosia Armeniaca) Seedling Tree Starter Plant in 2.5'' square pot. Peanut Butter Fruit is just one of the delicious fruit bearing trees that is regarded as highly underestimated. Apart from being a valuable tree for the fruit it bears it is also highly ornamental. It can be grown into a bush or a small tree with a tendency to go deciduous during the winter. The yellow flowers are produced through late Spring and are followed by a nearly constant production of fruits in varying quantities. The dark-red to dark-orange fruit is the size of a quail egg and needs to be picked every day as they spoil quickly on the tree. They can be stored for several days in the refrigerator or can be separated from the seed and frozen. The skin is very tender with rich, sweet flesh that has a texture very similar to peanut butter or a sweet potato. The concentrated sugars of the fruit make it much like a dried fig. They are especially good when blended into a milkshake. The trees, which have a distant affinity to the Acerola Cherry, are hardy and highly tolerant of frost. They grow quickly and produce from their first year.
