Can't wait to taste the fruit from this tree. My husband loves peanut butter, so he is happy to have this tree in the garden.

I got this out of curiosity. It arrived in good condition, still growing.

Peanut Butter Tree
Bit of a slow starter - our 5 year old tree has only just hit its straps. Pollination and fruit set can be tricky. Keep careful watch on the maturing fruits - sucking bugs and pecking birds love them as well. Flowers from Spring and through to Autumn and
LESCHENAULT, WA, Australia
Fun to grow and the fruit does taste like peanut butter. I suspect this species is chill sensitive as it becomes chlorotic in winter once the night temps are less than about 8C - followed by bright sunny days. It recovers perfectly fine in spring so I ...
COMO, WA, Australia
I have over a dozen of these growing (in two different places in Perth). Bought six from Daleys in 2017 which are all between 120 and 200 cm tall in 100 L planter bags. All are currently flowering but only a few fruits have set. The plants which are gr...

Peanut Butter Tree
Love this tree and the fruit. Can be pruned to a shortish shrub size with no ill effects. Interested to know how to get its seeds to sprout?
Peanut Butter Tree
Mine looks to have an iron deficiency so maybee they like acidic soils. i will lower the pH with ag sulphur and see what happens.
Peanut Butter Tree
Love this tree. Very pretty and can stand cold, windy, exposed sites. Unusual tasting fruit. Sweet but pasty. Takes a while to get used to but very yummy. Sweet,delicate and best eaten straight off the tree as soon as it turns red.
Peanut Butter Tree
Planted 3 years ago on well drained slope and has been fruiting since December. Still flowering and fruiting in March with constant supply of ripe fruit. Note that flowers dropped last season without fruiting, but lots this season.

I really like the idea of fruit which is interesting and unusual - and peanut butter fruit is definately that. This plant has grown more than any others I have - it is doing really well

Peanut Butter Tree
This is not a tip but a question. Does anyone know why a lot of flowerbuds fall off without opening? Hundreds of mine have dropped off and only now some flowers are opening and the fruits are starting to form.
Rangeville, QLD, Australia
Still in it's pot, and suffered from insect attact. Probably snails, almost defoliated it, but it's on the way back. There were flowers when I received it and I got a couple of fruit off it before winter. It needs to find a home in the ground b...
