This tropical fruit can grow in mild areas where chance of frost are slim to none, but will never get as large as in truly tropical areas. The terminal, clustered flowers are yellow to red. Leaves are ovate, green to copper red and fruits are egg-shaped, about 6-16 inches long and greenish red. For best results, moisture should be consistent and plant grown in full sun.
