Ziziphus joazeiro is a hardy, thorny evergreen tree native to the dry forest regions of northeastern Brazil. Typically found in lowland areas, it has adapted well to arid conditions and is valued locally for its small, edible fruit. The fruits are around 2 cm in diameter, with relatively thin skin and a fleshy, slightly sweet pulp. They are commonly gathered from the wild and consumed fresh in local communities.
In addition to its pleasant taste, the fruit of Ziziphus joazeiro is known for being rich in vitamin C, making it both a nutritious and refreshing option in hot, dry climates. Each fruit contains a single hard seed. The tree’s resilience and productive nature make it an excellent candidate for cultivation in similarly dry, subtropical environments.
Seeds are from a cultivated tree and are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
