Bunchosia xxx ( Peanut butter fruit tree) fruiting now
« on: May 13, 2017, 03:33:03 AM »
Among the fruit trees i've in my garden this one is really surprising me.
Peanut butter fruit tree Bunchosia xxxx I don't want to enter the dispute about the taxonomy (argentea, armeniaca, glandulifera....)
No need to wait for YEARS to get a reward to your effort.
I planted a small seedling ( about 20cm or 3/4 ft ) last september 2016.
In beginning of april 2017 i had already harvested a couple of fruits.
Now, the tree is full blooming and at the same has plenty of ripening fruits.
The taste is  really unique, not very sweet but pleasantly sweet and with a dense, buttery texture and a peanut aftertaste.
By the way, according to the scientific research it's also healthy being very antioxidant rich (thus the intense red colour).
I love it  :)

Mine are flowering right now.

Lory I don't know when you pick and eat them, but I found if you wait till they start to wrinkle and bleed a little juice they taste much better then if you eat them when they are plump and red.

I usually eat them when they turn to a nice deep red color they become soft and they can easily be detached from the tree with a simple touch.
They are so pleasantly sweet then  :)
