Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Plump, yummy, sweet-tart, black fruit that looks a bit like elongated blackberries appear on this fine tree earlier than other varieties, at just 2-3 years. Its huge, heart-shaped, deep-green leaves make this small 15-20' tree a delicious as well as attractive addition to yard or orchard. This cultivar hails from Naples, Florida and is the best choice for the deep south; it grows well in the rest of the country too! S/M
