🫛 Ice Cream Bean Tree (Inga edulis) - fast growing shade tree with wonderful fruit that kids love! 👯‍♀️
  • ✳️ Bean pods up to 3 ft long contain sweet, juicy, white pulp that has a soft cotton wool texture and tastes of vanilla ice-cream.
  • ✳️ The fruit has fantastic health benefits. It contains up to 25% sugar, 10% protein, 5% fiber, vitamins C, A and E, and minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and zinc. The protein content is two times higher than that of a banana!
  • ✳️ A mature tree will produce around 100 fruits in a season. Seedlings start fruiting within 3-4 years.
  • ✳️ Fast growing, umbrella-shaped tree, 20 ft tall and almost as wide, provides plenty of shade. This is our favorite tree when we need to create shade quickly.
