Plinia inflata, commonly known as Mulchi, is a rare fruit tree native to the western Amazon regions of Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It typically grows up to 5 meters tall and is appreciated for its unique, yellow to orange, ribbed, globose fruits. The fruits range from 5–8 cm in diameter and 7–10 cm in length, featuring a thick, sweet, and abundant pulp. While not particularly aromatic, the flavor is pleasantly mild and enjoyable, making it a desirable species for those seeking uncommon Amazonian fruits.
Mulchi is a slow-maturing tree, with seedlings often taking 5 to 15 years to begin flowering. However, once mature, it is a prolific producer, often fruiting multiple times a year. Its attractive, ribbed fruits and compact growth habit make it suitable for both home gardens and conservation plantings in tropical and humid subtropical regions. As interest in underutilized Amazonian fruit species grows, Plinia inflata is gaining recognition among collectors and agroforestry enthusiasts for its fruiting potential and ecological value.
The plants photographed are similar to the one you will receive. Typically the largest plants available will be shipped out first.
