African Peach is a rare tropical gem from Africa that produces unique, red-fleshed fruit. Despite the name, it looks more like a round, bumpy berry and tastes like a mix of strawberry and apple.

African Peach trees are fast growers with a lovely open canopy and glossy green leaves. They produce white, fuzzy flowers that look like little pincushions and smell very sweet. The tree is deciduous in dry periods and can handle a bit of drought once the roots are deep. It loves the heat and stays productive even when the weather gets tough.

Interesting Notes:

The fruit is a superfruit packed with Vitamin C and healthy antioxidants. In Africa, many parts of the tree are used in traditional medicine to help with fevers and digestion. It is a great conversation starter because the fruit looks so different from anything in the shops.

African Peach is a must-have for anyone who loves rare plants and wants a hardy, productive tree for their food forest.
