The All-Time Amra Plant, commonly known as Hog Plum or Ambarella (Spondias dulcis), is a tropical fruit-bearing tree prized for its tangy, aromatic fruit and medicinal value. Native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in tropical regions, the Amra plant is a favorite in home gardens due to its hardy nature and multiple uses.

Key Features:

• Leaves: The plant has long, feathery, pinnate leaves that offer a lush, tropical appearance.

• Flowers: Small, fragrant white flowers bloom in clusters, attracting pollinators before turning into fruit.

• Tree Size: It can grow into a medium-sized tree (up to 10–15 meters), but can also be pruned and maintained as a shrub in home gardens or pots.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil.
