Peanut Butter fruit tastes just like the name implies: like rich, creamy, delicious peanut butter but with the added bonus of a true tropical fruity flavor with a surprisingly light consistency! When ripe, the fruit transforms from a vibrant light color to a cool deep red, like your favorite shade of lipstick. The fruit is teardrop shaped and just a tad larger than a quarter or a really big grape.

Peanut Butter fruit trees are related to Acerola and native to Venezuela, Colombia, and other parts of South America. Small but intricate yellow flowers start to show in March or early spring and foliage is very attractive year round. The low-maintenance Peanut Butter Fruit tree is essential for any food forest, rare fruit collector, or tropical home landscape.

Planted about 4 months ago and it already has fruit!
So happy I purchased this plant. Bought the x-large. Received it June 1, 2024 and got it planted the next day. Made a potting mix of 50% perlite and 50% sphagnum peat moss. For fertilizer I use Dr Earth Pure Gold All Purpose granules and water with either rain or distilled. For every watering I do mix two pumps of Dr Earth Pump & Grow All Purpose liquid fertilizer per 1 gallon of the water needed. Have it growing indoors in my sunroom. It could have spent the summer outdoors here, but I like being able to control the environment. Picture attached was taken today Sept 27, 2024. Wish I would have taken a before pic for comparison. The growth has been incredible. I do need to put in better support until it becomes more established. Already has three fruits. Can’t believe it produced so fast. Very impressed with this beautiful plant.

Finally purchased it
As soon as I transplanted into a new pot, it took off. It’s been maybe a month since I had it. It has since started to bud. Can’t wait….

Update!!!
Kept inside through a brutal AZ summer and the growth finally took off! Took a while but excited to see if we can drop this in the ground in the spring and shade it through summer next year. First picture is from how plant arrived March 2023. Second picture is December 2nd 2023. Good growth sitting in the window inside. You can’t really tell from the picture, but the trunk has doubled in size.

Peanut butter fruit trees are exciting.
Our little guy was healthy and stable and is doing great. We lost our first one because cats will eat the young seedlings. Other than that, we’re excited to see what he can do!

Well, I was debating on saying anything about this order. Frankly, I'm a bit underwhelmed. The plant was received very well packed in the box but it is only about 4" tall and very loosely planted in soil that only fills the pot half way. This should've been sold and shipped in a small pot with a much more robust root structure. This is my second purchase from Sow - my first order was underwhelming as well with the majority of the leaves dried up on a Jamaican Cherry. Luckily, I've been able to nurse it back to health but this will likely be my last purchase from Sow. I've ordered many of my plants online and these two orders are the only disappointments I've had.
