Carica pubescens

Quick growing, round headed, small tree (2-4 meters). Nice aroma from the fruit. Can be eaten fresh or cooked. Preders a mean minimum temperature of 17°c and a maximum of 22°c, but can tolerate a range from 10 – 28°c, and can even tolerate occasional frosts to about -3°c when dormant, but only -1°c when coming into growth. Requires a fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny but sheltered position.

Bright yellow fruit, size of a small apple.
Leaves up to 60cm across and deeply lobed.
Quick growing.
Best to have more than one plant to ensure pollination. Note: fruit is produced within two years if male and female flowers are present. Male and female flowers may be produced on the same or separate plants. A plant may vary from male to female during the year. Therefore, to ensure pollination plant more than one plant.
