Canistel Tree ‘Fairchild’ (Pouteria campechiana)
Also known as Egg Fruit, this tropical fruiting tree from Central America produces golden yellow fruit that ripen in late winter and have a dense firm texture and sweet delicious flavor. We have found that Canistel ‘Fairchild’ is perfectly suited for container growing, where it begins fruiting at a young age and is prolific in fruit production. The fruit is smaller than other varieties and has a pointed shape. It can be maintained with pruning at a height of 4-5’ tall and still be productive, with a container-grown tree producing 40 or more fruit a year.
