Seeds were imported from Brazil. This is a sprawling, spiny shrub or tree with a rounded or conical crown; it can grow up to 10 meters tall, but is usually smaller. The thin, straight spines are up to 10mm long. The fruit is eaten raw or made into preserves, pickles and fermented into a beer[63 , 301 ]. Looking like a yellow plum, the fruit has a juicy pulp with an acid-sweet, aromatic, almond-like flavor. Considered to be wholesome and palatable by most people, though some consider it to be purgative. It is possible that the edible qualities are affected by climatic and soil conditions. The fruit contains about 67% oil. The globose fruit is up to 30mm long and 25mm in diameter. Seeds are viable and will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
