Ice Cream Bean
People generally dont know about this tree & its magnificent fruit & I want to educate everyone. If u are considering it dont delay. It grows my favourite fruit ever, sort of a banana/lychee texture with icecream flavour.

Inga sp. I like the "floss" around the seeds but my family aren't as impressed. I also planted it because it's a nitrogen fixer and I like the tree too. It has grown very fast here and is already 6m tall, and about 5m wide.It is not bothered by our bor...

Remember the story of Jack and The Bean Stalk? Well this must have been it. Grows like wild fire in Brisbane area. I had one that grew so fast it was unbelievable. It shaded almost a house block. It was great for kids to climb but many seedlings

I live in Moe VICTORIA and have got a tree to 3.5 metres in about 5 years. Facing north in front of a shed. Maybe proper fruit in years to come....
MOUNT GRAVATT , QLD, Australia
I am dying to try this fruit, I had a small sapling but I realised I would never ba able to get fruit off it in a pot so I gave it away to a local mango farm that also runs a cafe/ice cream shop as a tourist attraction. I thought it might be interest...

We planted a mature potted tree a year ago and we have fruit now, after floods, frost and drought conditions during that time.

We have many around the house on our property and make a wonderful shady sitting area. The birds are a joy to watch and the grandkids love climbing them also-good for attaching swings. Be sure not to plant near the house as the roots go forever.Millions o

I grew one from seed...it's in a container in my bathroom, excellent conditions there along with passionfruit and kumquats. The bean is now almost 4 ft. tall and thriving!

Councils should be wary planting these as there is potential to be weed like as every seed shoots even before it gets to the ground recommend pruning as if too big hard to get fruit in it's prime great for garnish on dessert or just snack in the afternoon

Mine has been fruiting in Auckland for several years. I'd like to know if the beans are edible too?
Ottawa, ON
Ice Cream Bean
This tree can be grown indoors, but during the cold season it won't do anything. You should be ready to prune it as well. No fruits yet, but I read it takes 3 years, and I've had it for 2.5 years. It is a very hardy grower even in a pot, loves sun.

Todos Santos, MEX
Ice Cream Bean
I planted mine 5 years ago and just got first fruit this year. It now stands at 20 feet . looks like it wants to be really big and is covered in flowers. As I think I am the only one with Inga tree in Todos Santos I assume they are self pollenating.

Ice Cream Bean
I love this tree but it makes such a mess. Every seed dropped has the potential to grow. I am constantly pulling the young trees out of the garden & lawn. Lovely tree but I would not recommend planting in a normal sized houseyard.

Keperra, QLD, Australia
Okay, not really mine, but grown by my neighbour between our houses. I take care of it though because I like the fruit. I just cut it back when it looks like clogging the gutters and maybe give it a bit of fertilizer, but it really takes care of itself...
WALLARAH, NSW, Australia
Newly planted trees, I've seen a couple of nice specimens only a couple of K's from my place so I thought I'd give them a try.

Fast growing, attractive shade tree with long, sweet pods kids love to snack from. I grow them as quick, growing pioneer plant that will be cut down later when other fruit trees need its space.

The ice cream bean is not on the DPI's list of weeds, neither is it included in a government list of "potential weeds" which discussed hundreds of plants. A search of the DPI and the EPA websites does not show up with anything at all.

Hello Carol Leung, Where in West End are these trees? Which street?I'd like to go and have a look.

Planted by Council next to road - spreads exceedingly fast during summer and requires pruning to keep it off the road. Takes a while before good volumes of plump fruit are produced.
