Hog Plums are evergreen trees that bear a drupe-like fruit that resembles the well-known mango. In fact, they are closely related to the mango and their drupes contain a single seed. Bangkok, Thailand was thought to have been named after the Thai word for this fruit.
Water:
Hog Plums thrives in humid, tropical-like environments, requiring consistent moisture but tolerating drought. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry slightly. Outdoor cultivation benefits from seasonal rainfall, with the plant adaptable to diverse climate zones.
