Pouteria trilocularis

This is a very rare Pouteria species that has been eaten by the locals for hundreds of years. It was once abundant, but the wood was sourced for building material and now the tree is almost impossible to find in nature. It has a very sweet flavor, and enjoyed out of hand. The fruit tastes similar to Caimo, but not as juicy. You can find this tree growing from 0-1800 meters in altitude.

When fully ripe, the fruit is incredibly sticky and extremely sweet.
