Origin
Milky fruit is native to Central America and the Caribbean, but can also be found in Southeast Asia, such as Cambodia and Vietnam. Our milky fruits come from Vietnam. They grow in evergreen trees that are 8-30 meters high with a dense, wide crown and brown hairy branches. All plant parts contain a milky latex. Small flowers form in clusters in the leaf axils and grow into milky fruits.
