Pouteria salicifolia Radlk.

An evergreen tree. It grows 4-8 m high. The trunk is 15-25 cm across. The bark is grey-brown and splits. It flakes off in small rectangular pieces. The leaves are in spirals. The leaves are narrowly oval and 5-20 cm long by 1-2 cm wide. The flowers are in groups in the axils of leaves. The fruit is oval with a long beak. It has 1-2 seeds in a sweet pulp.

It is a tropical plant. It grows in interior forests that occasionally flood in Brazil.

Plants are grown from seeds. The seeds are collected from ripe fruit that have fallen and been allowed to partly decompose in a heap to make removing the seeds easier. These are then washed and planted while fresh. Seedlings emerge in 50-70 days.
