Discover the delightful and rare Yellow Muntingia (Muntingia calabura), a unique tropical to subtropical evergreen fruit tree/shrub that will surprise your taste buds with its incredible flavor—a blend of sweet cereal milk and cotton candy! This plant is 7-14 inches tall with a 2-inch rootball, perfect for adding a touch of the exotic to your garden or home.

With small, delicate white flowers reminiscent of strawberry plants, Yellow Muntingia produces an abundance of yellow, bite-sized berries that ripen rapidly year-round. These delicious fruits are a favorite among birds and squirrels, but don't worry—this prolific tree produces so much fruit that there’s plenty to share!

Due to its short shelf life, you won’t find this rare fruit in markets, even in its native regions. The best way to savor its wholesome and exotic flavor is to pick the berries straight from the tree. Known by various names, including Strawberry Tree, Jamaican Cherry, Cotton Candy Berry, and Panama Berry, this easy-to-grow plant thrives with minimal care.

Native to Central and South America, from Southern Mexico through the Caribbean and down to Peru, Yellow Muntingia is a must-have for any fruit lover looking to experience something truly special.
