Amla Tree (Indian Gooseberry) 25G

Amla Tree - Indian Gooseberry Tree in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL

Powerful, healing, and incredibly hardy—the Indian Gooseberry Tree (Phyllanthus emblica), also known as Amla, is a revered fruit-bearing tree with deep roots in Ayurvedic medicine. This tropical deciduous tree produces small, translucent green fruit that are sour, crisp, and packed with wellness-boosting nutrients. Known for its adaptogenic power and age-defying effects, Amla is a true superfruit that grows beautifully in South Florida’s climate.

The 25-gallon size offers a mature, fruiting-age tree ready to thrive in your yard, food forest, or healing garden.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Full sun is essential—aim for 6–8+ hours daily for best fruiting and foliage health.

• Watering: Moderate. Water regularly during dry spells and while fruiting. Reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of well-draining soils; prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH. Enrich with compost or organic matter.

• Fertilizer: Apply balanced organic fertilizer 2–3 times a year. Minimal feeding needed once established.

• Growth Habit: Graceful, open-branching tree with light green feathery leaves. In a 25-gallon pot, expect 6–8 feet in height; in-ground, it can mature to 25–35 feet.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Tolerates seasonal dry periods and light chill but should be protected from frost when young.

• Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and airflow.

Fruit Notes:
Amla fruits ripen in fall and are typically harvested while still green and firm. The flavor is extremely tart, often dried, pickled, juiced, or used in herbal tonics. The fruit has a long shelf life and is commonly blended with honey or spices for balance.
