Description
Product Details

Inga edulis, commonly known as ice-cream bean, guaba, or pacay, is a fast-growing tropical tree native to South America. It is prized for its long pods filled with sweet, fluffy white pulp that surrounds the seeds, a treat often compared to vanilla ice cream in taste and texture.

Beyond its fruit, Inga edulis is highly valued as a shade tree due to its dense, cooling canopy. It also enriches the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, making it ideal for agroforestry systems and permaculture practices.

The tree tolerates pruning and grows well in warm, humid climates, though it can adapt to milder conditions as long as it is protected from frost. An excellent choice for those seeking an edible, ornamental, and ecologically beneficial species.
