Grow your own SoapNuts Tree

Plant a SoapNut/Soapberry tree today for a cleaner tomorrow

Rather than continue to import SoapNuts, we think it's important to plan for the future and not only grow our own SoapNuts for the future but to encourage you to do the same.

We offer two varieties of SoapNut tree seeds; The SoapNut Tree (Sapindus mukorossi) and the Soapberry Tree (Sapindus saponaria). The Sapindus Saponaria seeds are currently out of stock.

The SoapNut tree (mukorossi) produces the same berries as we sell, the berries from this tree contain superior sapion concentrations and are a larger fruit, these trees take 9-10 years to produce fruit. This is the easier tree to germinate but not suitable for frosty zones.

The Western Soapberry (saponaria) tree is a smaller tree and grows well in coastal areas, it takes 3 years to produce the SoapNut berries and is a smaller compact tree. The berries contain less sapion and are not of quality for retailing as a cleaner. This tree is more hardy than the soapnut tree.

We have provided fact sheets about each variety along with germination tips;
