Highly ornamental fragrant flowers.
Prefers a tropical location, marginal in the subtropics.
Fruits are ripe when yellow in colour - pick fruit only when ripe as they will not ripen further.
The outer Petals can be prepared and eaten, and the gelatinous pulp is often combined with sugar if consumed raw. The plant has medicinal properties and is a beautiful shady ornamental tree 🍏 #daleyfruit #daleysnursery #elephantapple
