At Inca Plant Nursery, we’re always excited to introduce unique tropical fruits that thrive in your home garden—and June Plum (Spondias dulcis) is one of our favorites! Also known as Ambarella, Golden Apple, or Otaheite Apple, this fast-growing fruit tree is as beautiful as it is bountiful.
What Is June Plum?
Native to the South Pacific and widely grown throughout the Caribbean, Asia, and tropical America, June Plum is a small to medium-sized tree that produces oval-shaped fruits with golden-green skin. The fruit can be enjoyed both green (tart and crunchy) or ripe (juicy and sweet-tart), making it a versatile treat for a variety of palates.
Why Grow June Plum?
- Fast Fruit Production: Unlike many fruit trees that take years to bear fruit, June Plum can start producing in as little as 1 to 2 years from planting.
- Compact and Manageable: It’s ideal for smaller gardens or containers, reaching around 10–25 feet in height, depending on pruning and growing conditions.
- Dual Culinary Use: Eat it green with salt and chili for a tangy snack, or let it ripen for smoothies, jams, juices, or fresh eating.
- Low Maintenance: June Plum thrives in full sun, needs moderate watering, and is generally pest-resistant—perfect for both beginners and seasoned gardeners.
Growing Tips from Inca Plant Nursery
- Soil: Well-draining soil is key. Add compost to enrich sandy or clay soils.
- Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: Keep soil moist, especially during flowering and fruiting stages.
- Pruning: Regular trimming helps shape the tree and encourages fruiting.
