This spring marks its second growing season since planted as a 5-gallon container specimen.
This previous fall and winter ...Read Morewe had virtually no winter chill in Plant City, Florida, yet it produced constant bloom for close to two months. Now the tree has an abundance of fruit on it.
It has well exceeded my expectations for performance this far south and I look forward to seeing how the bloom will set after a milder or colder winter.
Wow...that is all I can say about this plant. I received two of these free from the National Arbor Day Foudation in 2001 and planted the ...Read Moreseedlings in a side garden the first full year for root growth. Rabbits ate one, but I was able to keep one away from them. Transplanted into my backyard after 2 years.
After the transplant, this tree grew extrememly fast! In the fall/winter of 2006 I had a few berries turn up. Late winter of 2006 to 2007 I did a lot of pruning to the lower branches (that were too low). April of 2007 showed beautiful white flowers. Even though the bottom of the trunk is damaged by rabbits (several times!), this tree is amazingly strong and fights back after a previous drought, rabbit damage, heavy pruning, etc. It is in clay/rocky soil as well and now over 6 feet tall. I highly recommend one of these...if my conditions didn't kill it, you will have even better results with yours!

Many colors and hybrids are available, and they take many forms and sizes. Care should be taken to match the cultivar to the area that it its to be planted.
The fruits can get a touch messy if planted near driveways, so I would avoid that.
