Panama Berry
This plant arrived healthy and is growing amazingly fast in a pot in SE Qld.
Panama Berry
The plant looks great and very healthy. Still in the pot until the weather warms up.
Panama Berry
Loves a lot of water and nutrient hungry. I give it worm castings, potash, blood and bone and plenty of water when it's not raining in Brisbane. Never had issues with disease or pests. Sitting nicely at 4m now only after 2 years. Evergreen and fruits all
Panama Berry
I don't think this is weedy, as seeds do not readily germinate although the fruit are everywhere under the tree. This tree is a very good bee attractant and has a lovely scent.

The leaves on this tree is also sweet and I seriously doubt it wouls servive a day outside our orchard as the cattle would eat it to the ground. A pest problem in your garden? Sounds like bull excretment to me! Grow to have 12 inch girth in phillipines.

The leaves from panama berry can also used for cough medicine! We just have to clean the leaves first, soaked it on water and boiled it. The excess water from the leaves is the one we drink three times a day to cure if we are coughing.

The panama berry is not listed on the DPI's list of weeds. Also a search of the DPI site and the EPA site (which runs queensland herbarium) shows up nothing. Panama Berry was absent from a government list of hundreds of "potential" weeds.

Muntingia calabura is recognised by the Queensland Herbarium as a weed, there are 4 collections from the Wet Tropics and one collection from the Mackay region. If it is 'the fastest growing tree in the world' then I would be cautious about planting it.
