Golden Spoon, Nance, Nancy Tree

Very slow growing. It looks best during the hot and rainy months...and it essentially stops growing in our coolish and dry winters. I am ...Read Moreused to seeing them much more robust deeper in the tropics...here they don't seem to have quite the same vigor...

This tree is precocious and produces delicious little fruits with a flavor that is hard to describe. The fruit is astringent when freshly...Read More picked. Fruit must be left to sit for about 24 hours before eating to remove astringency. The little flowers are very attractive.

Nance trees are typically thought to be small. However, I found one at the Fruit and Spice Park of Homestead which was well over 30 feet tall (see picture).
