Prune du gouverneur (Flacourtia rukam)
Arbuste tropical au feuillage brillant et aux fruits violets doux-acidulés
Flacourtia rukam, connu dans le monde entier sous de nombreux noms—Prunier de Madagascar, Prunier indien, Prunier batoko, Rukam, Paniala et Flacoutera—est un arbuste fruitier tropical ou un petit arbre rustique avec un feuillage persistant dense et brillant et un port naturellement arrondi et ornemental. Les nouvelles feuilles virent au rouge cuivré avant de devenir vert foncé, offrant à la plante un intérêt visuel toute l'année. Pendant les saisons chaudes, il produit de petites grappes de fleurs blanches suivies de fruits foncés, violet, de type prune avec une peau ferme et une chair richement parfumée, douce-acidulée. Le fruit est excellent frais, mais se révèle vraiment lorsqu'il est transformé en confitures, sirops, vinaigres ou boissons fermentées.
Robuste, adaptable et attrayante, c'est une plante paysagère comestible fantastique pour les cultivateurs qui recherchent quelque chose d'inhabituel mais très productif.
Importance culturelle et culinaire
En Asie du Sud, en Indonésie, aux Philippines et en Afrique de l'Est tropicale, le Prunier de Madagascar est apprécié à la fois comme fruit cultivé et comme aliment sauvage. Ses fruits sont utilisés dans les chutneys traditionnels, les boissons rafraîchissantes et les confitures épaisses et richement colorées, prisées pour leur pectine naturelle. Dans certaines régions, les feuilles et l'écorce ont été utilisées dans les remèdes populaires, tandis que la longue durée de conservation du fruit en a fait un bien commercial historique important. La plante est également valorisée comme clôture vivante—ses branches denses et ses épines occasionnelles forment une excellente haie protectrice qui continue à produire des fruits pendant des générations.

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
Quality was excellent. Perfect for my Dad’s grave site, honoring a proud Marine.
Appreciate the extra effort to get the product to me when needed. The delivery was made with speed and consideration, very much appreciated
