Huito tree, fascinating!

We found this fruit in a "grape" pop. Our oldest daughter had also bought some prepared as a safe & temporary surface tattoo ink.

It is mainly found in Peru, but can be found in Mexico too. Every part sounds useful/medicinal and the fruit is reported to be tasty.

If only we could grow this here. Haha...it would certainly be the largest tree found on the Prairies!

@LaurieLovesLearning It is a very interesting plant and now I want one too lol. I wonder if it can be grafted onto any dwarf root stocks so it could be kept in a pot? 🤔

@Cornelius I have no idea. I'm afraid I'm a little scared to dream about putting this one in the house. 🤪 I think that might be stretching my houseplant boundaries just a little too far.
