Peanut Butter Fruit Tree (Bunchosia glandulifera)
Discover the unique charm of the Peanut Butter Fruit Tree, also known as Monk’s Plum. This evergreen tree, native to Central and South America, is a delightful addition to any garden with its ornamental appeal and the small, vibrant orange-red fruits it produces.
The fruits, about an inch in size, are a real treat. They have a dense, slightly juicy pulp that boasts a sweet flavor, strikingly similar to peanut butter. The fruits’ resemblance to coffee has earned it the name ‘caferana’ in Brazil. Enjoy these fruits fresh off the tree, or transform them into delicious jellies, jams, or preserves.
The Peanut Butter Fruit Tree is a manageable size, growing up to 23-26 feet, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller stature if desired. It thrives in full sun and warm climates, making it a perfect fit for USDA hardiness zone 10. While the tree is tropical and cannot survive freezing temperatures, it’s resilient enough to withstand temperatures as low as 28°F once mature.
The tree blooms in the spring and summer, adorning itself with small, yellow flowers that eventually turn into clusters of green fruits. These fruits gradually ripen, transitioning from light orange to a deep, dark red. With the potential to flower twice a year, this tree is a gift that keeps on giving.
Whether you’re a fruit enthusiast or a lover of unique plants, the Peanut Butter Fruit Tree is a fantastic choice. Its tropical charm and flavorful fruits make it a standout addition to any garden or landscape. Enjoy the beauty and bounty of this remarkable tree today!
