Pouteria ‘Sweet Sunball’ is a rare and newly introduced fruiting species from the coastal Atlantic Rainforest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Naturally growing in humid lowland forests under strong maritime influence, this tree is highly productive and well-suited for cultivation in coastal and subtropical regions. Its medium-sized, bright golden-orange fruits are sweet, juicy, and well-balanced, making them a delightful fresh-eating treat for collectors and tropical fruit enthusiasts.
The species’ coastal origin suggests strong tolerance to maritime winds, salt-laden air, and high humidity, while also hinting at moderate tolerance to cooler temperatures compared to many other lowland tropical Pouteria species. Pouteria ‘Sweet Sunball’ is an exciting addition for rare fruit collectors, combining ornamental appeal, abundant production, and excellent flavor. Its adaptability makes it a promising candidate for Florida, coastal California, Hawaii, and other warm coastal or island climates.
