This unusual tree produces a fruit that looks and tastes similar to black grapes. The fruit is excellent out of hand or can be used any way that grapes are used. The fruit is produced right on the bark of the tree all up and down the branches. So it is an unusual sight.It is quite showy when in flower also. The flowers are white. The tree will eventually get to be 20-25 feet tall, but this takes a very long time as it is very slow growing. It comes into fruit in 6-8 years. Well worth the wait as it is a heavy bearing tree. Likes full sun and good drainage.
