4" Pot Size

Yes, believe it or not, this intriguing fruit from South America does have a hint of peanut butter flavor. During the first year the plant should bloom several times from March through October. Once plants reach maturity (8-10” pot), they will produce sprays of bright yellow blooms which turn into 1” oval fruits that ripen to red. Fruits have a soft, sweet, dense pulp surrounding a large seed. They produce two fruits per flower stem. The plants are naturally upright growers and for good fruit set, they need warmth and sun. In the North, container-grown plants will yield fruit by the fall. If grown in a greenhouse or conservatory with abundant heat, fruiting will be earlier. This plant is sometimes referred to as Bunchosia argentea.
