Acanthosyris Spinescens

sold out

Seeds were imported from Brazil. This is a thorny, deciduous tree with a low crown; it can grow 3 - 6 metres tall. The short, crooked bole can be 20 - 30cm in diameter. The edible fruit is gathered from the wild and consumed locally. The plant also has local medicinal uses. The thin-skinned fruit has a very succulent pulp with a sweet, pleasant flavour. The fruits are about 3cm in diameter. I imported this specie last year, and was unable to get them to grow. I hope we will be able to have more success with this batch. Seeds are viable and will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
