Abiu, E4

Common Name: E4 Abiu

The E4 is a top Aussie cultivar for an abiu. It is famous for its huge fruit. If you want a tree that gives a tasty harvest, this is it.

Features:

Fruit: Big, bright yellow skin with sweet, creamy flesh that tastes like creme caramel.

Quality: Very low latex so it is less sticky and easier to eat.

Production: Very productive and can fruit multiple times a year in the right spot.

Handling: The flesh does not go brown fast, making it great for snacks and desserts.

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 7.0

Temperature tolerance: Loves humidity and steady heat 20-32C, protect from frost  and Perth summer heat in first 3 years.

Ideal prune height: 2 to 4 metres.

Interesting Notes:

The E4 grows true to seed, so the baby tree will be just like the mum. It loves warm, humid spots and likes being away from strong, dry winds. In Perth, it needs a warm, sheltered spot in the garden or greenhouse. It is a top choice for anyone wanting a productive food forest at home.
