The fruits are small drupes with a fleshly appendage on one side attached to the fruit, termed a pseudoaril.

Water: Adapted to variable moisture levels, apodytes prefers drier conditions, thriving with soil that dries slightly between waterings, approximately every three weeks. It grows best outdoors in well-draining soil to prevent root rot and maintain hydration, reflecting its natural drought tolerance.

Propagation: Propagation of apodytes can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings, requiring optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Seed germination may be slow and need stratification, while cuttings require specific humidity. Consistent care is essential post-germination or rooting for robust growth.
