ice cream bean

Recommended Posts

i grabbed a few nice pods off my tree today if anyone is interested im happy to send them to a loving home, theyre a great tree to have around..

 

Description

 

 

A large attractive tree with spreading branches and lovely white and yellow pompom type flowers. The pods look similar to a tamarind pod. Surrounding the inedible black seeds is a thick white juicy pulp that tastes very much like vanilla ice-cream. The tree has the added advantage of being nitrogen fixing and is a good choice as a fast growing shade tree.

My kids and me love eating them. But they can be pretty weedy in some areas.

Beautiful tree, ,but remember if you live on  a bush block they spread everywhere, fast.
