The story

The largest fruit a tree grows.

A glossy evergreen tree that carries spiky green fruit on its trunk and main limbs, often 10 to 40 pounds each. Ripe, it tastes of banana and pineapple. Green, it cooks up like pulled pork.

Light

Full sun.

Water

Water deeply once or twice a week while young. It hates wet feet more than drought.

Planting

Plant in spring in well-drained soil. Young trees need cover from cold below 40°F.

Nothing else in the yard will start as many conversations.
