let me be the one to bring up all the negative aspects now
-fruit must be picked at perfect time for optimum flavor (too early or too late can be bad)
-fruit is extremely fragile, near impossible to ship
-fruit is too tart for some to eat out of hand (but many people do enjoy them out of hand)
-fruit has a latex that can stick to your teeth (some have more than others)
other than that...it's probably my favorite plant to grow for fruits.
-super tolerant of heat
-tolerant of temps below 32 F briefly (a few large trees survived 27F for a few hours, with zero damage)
-somewhat tolerant of periodic flooding, and drought (not so much drought over the long term)
-tolerant of salt spray (if I'm not mistaken?)
-fruits for 6 months of the year or more
-precocious, fruiting from seed in about 3yrs
-only need one plant (but having more helps I'm sure)
-high in vitamin C and beta-carotene (compared to suriname cherry in a recent study was shown to be more nutritious)
-deep dark leaves, orange/reddish bark, and white flowers, with large yellow fruits...it's an ornamental plant for sure
-easy to keep small and fruiting in a pot for years, they seem to stay under 10ft tall, and turn into a large bush.
