A medium-sized deciduous tree from Northern China. Separate male and female trees are offered as mated pairs to produce very sweet, dark red fruit from mid – October to late – December. Fruit flavor similar to watermelon and is sometimes called the “Mandarin Melonberry”! This relatively rare offering is very eye-catching when in fruit and is oftentimes mistaken for another Chinese native known as the litchee. Grow in full sun exposure, adaptable to high temperatures and is very cold hardy.
