Inga edulis grows as a fast tropical fruit tree with feathery foliage, fragrant white flowers from June to October, and long pods with sweet cottony pulp. Outdoors it suits USDA zones 9-11 and reaches 8-10 ft. with pruning.
In cooler climates it grows in a container and moves indoors or to a patio before freezing weather. Ships as a live tree in season.
