Introducing the Manzano Red Mombin (Spondias purpurea), a tropical delight that brings the essence of Central America to your garden. This member of the Anacardiaceae family is a hardy and versatile tree, known for its resilience and minimal maintenance needs.
The Red Mombin stands at an average height and width of 15 feet, making it a compact yet fruitful addition to your landscape. Its open, spreading canopy extends horizontally, creating a lush, green spectacle that’s pleasing to the eye.
The tree’s true charm lies in its fruit. Large, round, and adorned with a reddish-purple skin, the fruits of the Red Mombin are a sight to behold. But it’s not just about looks – the yellow or orange flesh inside is juicy and sweet, perfect for eating fresh or transforming into jams, jellies, and other preserves.
The Red Mombin is a seasonal star, with its fruits ripening from May to July. As winter approaches, the tree goes dormant and sheds its leaves, only to burst into bloom as spring arrives. The fruits and flowers appear directly on the branches, adding to the tree’s unique appeal.
This tree is a survivor, capable of withstanding drought and thriving in various soil types. It’s particularly suited to fertile, well-drained soils but can adapt to less ideal conditions with adequate nutrition. It can also tolerate temperatures down to 27°F, and when planted in a sheltered spot or near a building, it can weather colder climates.
The Red Mombin is more than just a fruit tree. It’s a source of nutrition, offering a range of vitamins and nutrients. Whether you’re juicing it, using it in desserts, or enjoying it fresh, this tree is a healthful addition to your garden.
Bring home the Red Mombin and experience the joy of growing your own tropical fruit. This tree is available for sale at our nursery, ready to add a touch of the tropics to your home.
