🍊 Why exotic Mamey fruit is so much wanted?

Pouteria sapota, or Mamey Sapote - is Cuban favorite. It is considered by Cubans to produce the best fruit in the world.

🍹 The fruit has delicious bright orange soft flesh, sweet and pumpkin-like in flavor. The Mamey fruit is eaten fresh, in milk shakes and ice cream.

👀 Mamey has a curious growth habit: flowers emerge in clusters in the axils of fallen leaves along the branches, followed by the showy fruit. This is called cauliflorous - plants that flower and fruit from their main stems or woody trunks. Other examples are Cucumber tree and Jaboticaba.

🌳 Mamey is a slow growing, compact tree, but needs some space to spread the branches. It normally grows 20 ft in height and 20 ft wide.

🌺 Have you ever seen a hibiscus like that? This flower will blow your mind! 👀

  • 💀
    Hibiscus schizopetalus - Skeleton Hibiscus, or Coral Hibiscus - earns its nickname due to the delicate, lacy appearance of its flowers. The Latin word schizopetalus literally means "crazy petals"! Flowers look like parachutes, with lacy petals bent backward. The petals are thin and elongated, resembling the intricate structure of a skeleton or bones! 💀

  • ♦️ When the flowers bloom, they create a beautiful, ethereal effect, which has led to the association with the term "skeleton." This unique characteristic sets it apart from other hibiscus varieties, hence the distinctive moniker.

  • ♦️ Spectacular weeping tree shape, it has slender and gracefully curved stems.

  • ♦️ Rare and hard to find.

  • ♦️ Grows rapidly and blooms freely.

  • ♦️ Can be trained into a showy standard.
