While peanuts grow underground and require roasting and blending to make peanut butter, nature's ready-made peanut butter grows on a tree—the Peanut Butter Fruit Tree. The beautiful yellow flower clusters of this perennial evergreen turn into fruit that ripens as it turns orange to light red. The 1-inch fruit is dense and juicy with a touch of sweetness just like the classic spread we all love. You can eat Peanut Butter Fruit straight off the tree or make it into sauces, preserves, and desserts. This Central and South American native, also known as Monk's Plum and Silver Peanut Butter Tree, has become quite popular in Australia and the U.S. Peanut Butter Trees thrive in full sun and warm, humid climates. If planting in an area that gets below 28 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll want to protect this tropical tree from freezing.
