Grow Peanutbutter fruit tree for sweets and lots of yellowbirds


Peanut butter tree is a prolific tree once it starts to give out its pretty yellow blooms. This tree only grows 6ft tall and usually cherished ornamentally for its tiny but bunching yellow flowers. 

Our tree started out as a housewarming gift and we planted it on the ground about 3 years ago. After a year, it grew and gave out fruits. This is an annual plant. 


Since we have this, there are resident birds in our place. The birds love the reddish fruit very much. PBF has this texture of a mashed potato and sweetness of dates and sweetpotatoes combined. 

The first time it fruited, I usually pick out the mushy red. But as months passed, it bore more fruits. I harvest the red orange ones and let it ripen in the kitchen area and later, outside the house. But then, fruitflies and other insects feast on them. So the only challenge that I had then was in keeping it long. 

But I now I put the red-orange fruit in a container and put it in the fridge. It can keep fresh this way and won't ripen altogether. So now, each time I want some, I just pluck the reds from the others and enjoy the creamyliciousness of peanutbutter fruit.
