Great for the Edible, Permaculture, Homesteading Landscape. Nice looking shrub that produces a edible cherry/fruit. This grows well in Central Florida.

They are good eaten fresh and excellent made into jelly and preserves. Taste comparable to an apricot, and sometimes called the tropical apricot.

I will combine shipping on all my plants. I can ship up to 4 plants for one price combined shipping. If you are interested in more than one of my plant listings I will refund the shipping overages.
