Description
What Is Peanut Butter Fruit?
A perennial, evergreen shrub or small tree up to 5m high, often with multiple trunks. Leaves are simple, opposite, ovate, up to 15cm long and 8cm wide with a wavy margin, forming a very ornamental canopy. Clusters of yellow flowers form in spring. These are lightly perfumed and up to 8cm long. Followed by an abundance of dark red fruit to around 2.5cm long. The rich, sweet flesh has a texture similar to peanut butter. Seeds / nuts are green at first, then colour up when ripe in late Summer. There are 1-2 large seeds embedded in the orange-red pulp.
Uses (function): Attracts birds and bats. Great ornamental or screening value. Self-pollinating so you only need one plant for fruiting. Can be grown in container gardening, even inside if enough light.
Nutritional value: Protein rich, low in calories and fat and are a source of simple sugars, fiber, and vitamins.
Growing details (propagation, seed etc): Seedlings can be sprouted from fruit. Harvest between February-September. Can be kept pruned to a shortish shrub size for easy foraging. Prefers shelter from cold winds and frost.
Best time to grow: Plant out in spring, when the soil warms up.
Soil: Good draining, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.6-7.3).
Sun: Full sun (80%-100%).
Water: Moderate. Keep moist.
How to Grow a Peanut Butter Fruit Tree from Seed
Remove any pulp from the peanut butter fruit seed.
Fill starter trays with potting soil.
Plant one seed per cell about ½ inch deep and water them in.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy and keep your tray in a warm, sunny location but also give them some protection from harsh afternoon rays.
Seeds should germinate in 2-4 weeks.
Wait until your seedlings are 4-6 inches long and have a few true leaves before transplanting into a 1-inch pot.
Slowly introduce your seedlings to stronger sunlight and transplant them into gradually larger pots as they outgrow their container.
When your plant is hardy and a few feet tall, you can plant it in the ground.
After planting your tree in the ground, surround it with mulch to help retain soil moisture. Water your tree after planting and keep the soil moist but not soggy.
How to eat it: Sweet, delicate and best eaten straight off the tree as soon as it turns red. The fruit can be eaten fresh or made into milk shakes. It has a sticky, dense, sweet, pleasant-tasting pulp, but is not very juicy as the sugars are concentrated. Separate the flesh from the seed and freeze for later use. Ideal for jams, jellies, preserves, muffins and the like. The flesh can also be dehydrated.
