Description
Pitch Apple, also sold as Tropical Dwarf Apple (Clusia rosea), is native to the American tropics.
Their beautiful flowers and easy to grow aerial roots make it a popular ornamental tree throughout the tropics.
Its thick, leathery leaves give it a distinctive tropical appearance. Mature trees may develop white or pink flowers and ornamental fruit, but flowering is not guaranteed in a container. The fruit is not edible.
It is also called the autograph tree because marks made on its thick leaves can remain visible.
Suitable for year-round indoor growing with warmth, bright filtered light and appropriate watering.

Care for your tree
- Light: Provide bright filtered light, with protection from intense hot sun indoors.

- Seasonal care: Maintain warmth and light through winter, reducing watering as growth slows while keeping the root ball from drying completely.
