Bunchosia glandulifera is a novelty fruit tree native to northern South America and Central America. It does in fact have the taste and texture of peanut butter. The fruits are small, elliptical in shape, and about 1″ in length and ripen to an orangy-red color. The tree is somewhat shrubby, but can attain a height of 10-15′ and nearly as wide. The fruit tastes good and is also high in many vitamins, minerals, and fiber content.

Richard Lyons Nursery currently has this tree in stock.
