Pouteria glomerata
Pouteria glomerata is a versatile species ranging from a shrub 3–4 meters tall to a broad-crowned tree that can reach up to 20 meters in height. The trunk (bole) can grow up to 45 cm in diameter, depending on growing conditions. Native to the tropical Americas, this species is cultivated primarily for its fruit in regions such as Mexico and El Salvador.
The fruit is oval to globose in shape, measuring around 7 cm long and 5 cm wide, with a very thick, hard shell that encloses a fragrant, creamy-textured flesh and typically four large seeds. While the fruit’s flavor may not appeal to everyone, it is highly appreciated by those who enjoy its distinctive, rich consistency. The fruit is usually eaten raw. Plants are tolerant of occasional cold snaps and can withstand brief temperature drops as low as 28°F (-2°C), making them relatively hardy for a tropical species.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
