These hardy, self-fertile trees are little known in the UK, but deserve to be much more widely grown. Ideal for a greenhouse, conservatory or a hot, sunny spot outdoors. Pick the fruit in late October, & allow it to ripen to sweet perfection on a sunny windowsill. When ripe, eat them fresh by spooning out the smooth, custard-like flesh (it is sweet & delicious & tastes a little like a mango). They can also be used in desserts of breads, or even dried. Eventual height Approx. 5m (16'). Supplied as a 3 litre potted tree with a height of 60-80cm. For growing & planting advice read our leaflet The_ Fruit_ Garden.
