A deciduous, easy-to-grow semi-dwarf tree grows to a height of 15 feet or less. Its precocious nature allows fruiting to begin one year after planting. The fruit resembles a blackberry but that is where the similarities end. This fruit is one of, if not the very best flavored berry-like fruit in the world! High sugars, with just the right balance of acidity adds to the very complex strong flavor which makes this selection a must have for many who sample the fruit for the first time.
