+ Free Shipping
Peanuts may grow underground, but nature's peanut butter grows on the Peanut Butter Fruit Tree. The beautiful yellow flower clusters of this perennial evergreen eventually turn into fruit that starts green and ripens as it turns orange to light red. The 1-inch fruit is dense and juicy with a touch of sweetness that smells and tastes similar to peanut butter. You can eat it right off the tree or make it into a peanut butter flavored jelly. No wrong way... to eat a Peanut Butter Fruit. This Central and South American native, also known as Monk's Plum, has become quite popular in Australia and the U.S., too. It's a tropical tree that thrives in full sun and warm, humid climates. If planting in areas that get below 28 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll want to protect this tropical tree from freezing.
• Average mature height: 20-25 feet (6-10 feet if pruned)
• Light Requirements: Full sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained. Do not let dry out between waterings.
• USDA Hardiness Zone: 10
