Banjo's Peanut Butter Fruit Tree (Bunchosia argentea)
Bunchosia argentea, known as silver peanut butter fruit, is a species of flowering plant in the acerola family, Malpighiaceae, that is native to Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Guyana and Suriname. It produces small orange-red fruits that are sericeous.
This fruit really does taste like a cross between peanut butter and a strawberry jam. These plants are second generation, meaning that they have either been started from seed or from cuttings of the mother plant which first bore fruit atop the body of a dog named Banjo. I loved Banjo very much. I love these fruit, the flowers, and the foliage. You will, too. These plants come in a one gallon pot.
