Mamoncillo

Melicoccus bijugatus, commonly known as the Spanish lime, is a slow-growing, large evergreen tree with a spreading, dense crown. It features compound leaves with four elliptic leaflets and produces clusters of small, fragrant, greenish-white flowers. The tree is highly valued for its round, green drupes that contain a succulent, salmon-colored pulp with a unique sweet-tart flavor. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, showing remarkable drought tolerance once established.
