Evergreen tree up to 30 metres in height with leathery dark green, oval lanceolate leaves. The mabolo is related to the persimmon and also produces a round orange-coloured fruit. This is a velvety berry with yellow, fibrous floury pulp containing 4 to 8 smooth seeds.
This plant was a gift from Tropenhaus Wolhusen in 2014 to mark our fifth anniversary. The fruit tastes like a mixture of apple and banana and can also simply be eaten raw.
The first flower buds appeared in 2020 but we do not yet know whether our plant will ever bear fruit.
