The Eggfruit Tree (Canistel Tree) is a fantastic tropical fruit tree that thrives in the UAE’s warm climate, producing delicious, nutrient-rich fruit. Also known as Canistel, this evergreen tree bears bright yellow, egg-shaped fruits with a sweet, custard-like texture, making it a unique addition to any home garden or orchard.

The Eggfruit Tree can reach a height of 3 to 8 meters, with glossy green leaves and a strong, drought-resistant nature. It flourishes in full sunlight and well-draining soil, requiring moderate watering. With minimal care, this resilient tree provides bountiful harvests for years to come.

To maximise fruit production, fertilise the tree during the growing season and prune lightly to maintain its shape. It pairs well with other tropical plants like Mango, Longan, and Guava, creating a diverse and productive garden space.

Whether grown in gardens or large pots, the Eggfruit Tree rewards gardeners with an exotic fruit that is perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, or desserts. Order yours today from Greenplantshop.ae and enjoy fast delivery across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah!
