People have (mistakenly) thought it was a kind of plum. I have heard all different, interesting kinds of descriptions of the smell (even like bubble gum.) I was curious about it being a kind of Hawthorn.
But, when I finally tasted some, I thought it was like a small apple.
I was able to plant some seeds, during "ponche" season, so will probably have a few, young trees, in the Spring.
