I have a really good one. I think there is quite a bit of variation with this species. I know of quite a few people that don't like it but everyone that has tasted my tree has liked the fruit. I have eaten fruit off of a huge tree at Kampong in Coconut Grove that wasn't good. All of the trees I have tasted that were purchased from Ray Jones have been excellent. They taste like a strong spicy apricot. Unfortunately Ray Jones has passed away and I don't know where his seeds came from. I grafted on some branches from a friends tree from the same seed batch and I seem to be getting better pollination. I would plant these in at least pairs or graft or multigraft a single tree. This is one of the best Eugenias I have eaten. Much better than grumichama and maybe even better that Zill Dark surinam.
