There are lots of luma apiculata growing in San Francisco as ornamental trees.

Is it worth growing for fruit and are there any improved varieties?

The fruit I have tasted was mediocre but maybe someone else knows more about different cultivars. The trees are very pretty.

I agree, huge tree’s and grove at Strybing arboretum in SF but fruit is not that exciting out of hand.
