Pitomba Fruit Trees & Edibles > Perennial Vegetables often flushed with russet patchesPitomba (Talisia esculenta) is a tropical fruit tree native to Brazil, producing small, bright orange to reddish fruits with a tangy, sweet flavour. The fruit, encased in a thin, smooth skin, offers a juicy, aromatic flesh. Pitomba trees are hardy and thrive in warm climates with well drained soil. With their lush, glossy foliage and vibrant fruits, they add both beauty and a unique flavour to tropical gardens.
