Merilyn says... The cost of Peanut trees (Streculia) is about $2.50 (25cm tall) at the TAFE nursery at Pimlico, Townsville. I doubt that they would send overseas. I have a few growing nicely in Townsville and Mingela (100km south west, bit higher and cooler than Townsville), planted one about a year ago and it is now a metre high. | About the Author Merilyn1 Townsville 7th April 2011 11:02pm #UserID: 5156 Posts: 1 View All Merilyn1's Edible Fruit Trees |
John Mc says... Hi Merilyn, I think he was referring to Peanut butter tree, (Bunchosia argentea) it's like a shrub/small tree.

Mark says... What is a 'Peanut Butter Tree'? .. I thought that peanuts grew underground,& that peanut butter was made from them. (seeee, I Don't know everything, do I folks?!! :-D ) .. Wasn't Jimmy Carter a peanut farmer? He might have some or know where to get them. ... But "a Peanut Butter Tree?" ... I've never heard of That one before. | About the Author Mark22 Mildura 9th April 2011 8:04pm #UserID: 5149 Posts: 24 View All Mark22's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mark says... Phil,, I haven't seen one or the fruit of this. .. So, is the texture more of the Smooth or Crunchy variety of Peanut Butter? & is the fruit also oily & salty?............ Very sorry everyone. .. But really, a "Peanut Butter Tree"? That could not be let past without some quip! ... (Do they also have Vegemite bushes? :-D ) | About the Author Mark22 Mildura 9th May 2011 1:17am #UserID: 5149 Posts: 24 View All Mark22's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... While you are on the subject, did you know there is the perfect substitute for peanut butter? its called Freenut Butter & produced by Eskal. Anaphalactics & other people allergic to peanuts can enjoy this alternative because its made from sunflower seeds, but we just prefer the taste! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 11th May 2011 1:50am #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

NQ Grower says... I planted my peanut butter fruit tree about 12 months ago and it came from daleys in its little box and now is taller than me! my first lot of flower started in September however I have so far only had 2 fruit (i lost a couple to ants) - looks like there are about 5 more starting to develop on the tree though. Mine is planted in full sun and high humidity which is fairly harsh up here - I do water it twice a week though. Re the fruit - it is definately peanut paste like in taste and texture - not exactly the same but very close. | About the Author Nqgrower1 townsville 3rd February 2012 8:16am #UserID: 5050 Posts: 72 View All Nqgrower1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Yes NQ Grower, the texture is thinner than PB and the flavour is milder and sweeter than PB, but certainly can see why it got its name. The crunchy ripe stage tastes like sweet carrott. They get around 10000 flowers, but will only set a very small amount of fruit compared to flowers, but flower and fruit throughout the warmer months.In winter they can look a bit sick, but come good in spring. I cut mine back to a foot in winter so it doesnt get that leggy look like the one next door. Also keeps it looking lush and dense. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 3rd February 2012 10:34am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
