Ice Cream Bean Tree

Grow a tropical tree known for long pods containing sweet, cottony pulp around the seeds. Its leafy canopy can bring shade and a distinctive edible-garden feature to a suitable warm-climate site.

Choose your plant

Available selections: 3 Gallon; 5-6 ft. (3G). Choose an in-stock option above. Photos show plant characteristics; size, branching and foliage naturally vary.

Growing needs

Plan generous growing space, strong light and protection from cold. This is a tree that needs ongoing pruning if kept in a container. A bright protected overwintering space may help a container plant through cool weather, but an ordinary indoor room should not be treated as a reliable fruit-growing location. Provide drainage and water according to the plant and growing conditions.

What to expect

Each selection supplies one live tree in a nursery container. The 3 Gallon option describes container size, not a guaranteed tree height; the separately listed height option describes supplied height, not mature size. Decorative planters and fruit are not included. Pod production depends on maturity and suitable growing conditions; a first-season harvest is not promised.
