Full product details
Tropical sweetness in a compact form!
Bring the exotic flavor of the tropics to your garden with the Short Pod Ice Cream Bean Tree (Inga feuilleei) – a fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing fruit tree known for its sweet, cottony pulp that tastes like vanilla ice cream.
This air-layered starter plant is a clone of a mature fruiting tree, meaning it will bear fruit faster than seed-grown trees and maintain true-to-type genetics. Unlike the long-pod Inga edulis, this variety produces shorter, thicker pods packed with rich flavor and soft, fluffy fruit pulp.
🌿 Why You’ll Love It:
-
Short Pod Variety – Easier to harvest and handle
-
Air-Layered – Faster fruiting and reliable genetics
-
Delicious Fruit – Sweet, creamy pulp loved by kids and adults
-
Tropical Appeal – Great conversation starter in any garden
-
Nitrogen Fixer – Improves soil health naturally

Healthy, full, and worth recommending
I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.
The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.
I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.
Thank you so much!
