Ice Cream Bean - Large

Ice Cream Bean plant is a fast-growing, attractive large tree that makes an excellent choice as a shade tree. The tree produces long, bean-like pods that contain sweet, cottony flesh with a flavour reminiscent of vanilla ice cream, making it a fun and unique edible plant for the garden. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil, with regular watering during dry periods to promote healthy growth.

To encourage strong growth and fruit production, apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and lightly prune as needed to maintain its shape.
