June Plum Tree 7G

June Plum Tree in a 7 Gallon Pot, is available in Jupiter, FL.

Fast-growing, tropical, and packed with tangy-sweet flavor—the June Plum Tree (Spondias dulcis), also known as Ambarella, is a tropical fruiting favorite for South Florida growers. This tree is known for its crisp, juicy fruit with a flavor reminiscent of pineapple, mango, and citrus all rolled into one. Young fruits are tart and great for pickling or juicing, while ripe ones become sweet, golden, and perfect for fresh eating or preserves.

In a 7-gallon pot, this vigorous tree is already well on its way to becoming a flavorful focal point in your edible landscape or tropical garden.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—6 to 8 hours daily—for optimal growth and fruiting.

• Watering: Water regularly to establish a strong root system. Once mature, it becomes moderately drought-tolerant, though extra water during fruiting boosts yield and flavor.

• Soil: Adaptable to most soil types but prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Enrich with compost or organic matter to improve structure and nutrition.

• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced tropical fruit fertilizer 3 times per year, with added micronutrients to support growth and flowering.

• Growth Habit: Upright, fast-growing deciduous tree with large, serrated leaves. In a 7-gallon pot, trees typically stand 4–6 feet tall, and can reach 30–40 feet in the ground if left unpruned.

• Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 10–11. Loves South Florida’s tropical warmth. Sensitive to frost—protect during cold snaps.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Prune to manage height, remove suckers, and promote airflow. Fruit drops when ripe, so harvest regularly to prevent bruising and pests.

Fruit Notes: Produces oval green fruits that ripen to golden-yellow. Eaten fresh, pickled, or juiced. The flesh is crunchy and aromatic, with a single spiky seed in the center.
