Almost everyone who visits my garden says, "Wow, what is that?!" They're referring to my Babaco plant! Also called the Mountain Papaya, or Champagne Fruit,
the
Babaco is an unusual Papaya relative with a unique flavor. The big,
football-shaped fruits taste sort of like pineapple or kiwi, and the
juicy flesh is
effervescent, hence the name "champagne fruit". It's as fun to grow as
it is to eat! The exotic, palm-like shape of the plant gives it a great
tropical
look. And it makes up to 60 pounds of fruit per year! This is a hard-to-find tree that is rarely seen for sale.
