Walmart has these gorgeous plants which no one seems to be buying, so Walmart reduced the price. The Latin name is Chrysobalanus icaco. They grow here wild over by Bradenton Beach and you would think they are heat tolerant, but make sure you water the small plants through these dry months. The fruit is excellent if you cook it with brown sugar. They then taste like a sweet prune, with the added bonus of a nut in the middle that tastes like almonds.
