Pesseto (plural: pesseti) is a small, round, sweet fruit that grows on the Pesseto tree. The tree is native to the tropical regions of South America and Africa. Pesseti are often used in desserts or as a decoration on cakes and pastries.
The Pesseto tree grows to a height of 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) and has a slender trunk with smooth, gray bark. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the flowers are white or pale pink with five petals. The fruit is a small, round berry that turns red when ripe. Each tree produces about 500 pesseti per year.
Pesseti are eaten fresh, canned, or made into jam. They can also be used as a natural food coloring agent due to their high carotene content. When dried, they can be ground into a powder and used as a spice in baked goods or curries.
Pesseti trees require little care and can tolerate drought conditions well. They should be planted in full sun in well-drained soil. Once established, they need very little water and fertilizer. Trees begin bearing fruit at 3-4 years old and will continue producing for many years with proper care
