⛔️ Why grow Akee?
- ✔️Fresh fruit that you simply can’t buy in U.S. stores.
- ✔️You decide when it's ripe and safe, straight from the pod.
- ✔️A taste of Jamaica in your own garden - both food and culture in one tree.
So don't wait for the fruit that never arrives at the port. Plant your own Akee tree and enjoy the harvest tomorrow!
