Pouteria torta, commonly known as Woolly Abiu, is a deciduous tropical tree recognized for its open, globose crown and attractive natural form. Reaching heights of 6–18 meters, it develops a short bole measuring approximately 30–40 cm in diameter. The tree produces ovoid fruits averaging around 5 cm long and 4 cm in diameter, modest in size yet highly regarded by those fortunate enough to taste them.
The fruit contains a thick, gelatinous pulp with a mildly sweet flavor that can be enjoyed fresh or incorporated into beverages and preserves. Often described as very tasty, Woolly Abiu offers a pleasant texture and balanced sweetness that makes it appealing to rare fruit collectors and tropical orchard growers alike. Its combination of manageable fruit size, enjoyable flavor, and ornamental growth habit makes it a rewarding species for those looking to diversify their collection with something unique.
