My pitomba just made its first crop, I like it!  Very much like apricot.  Definitely worth growing

The texture and flavor are very similar to a dried Apricot.

How is the flavor of the fruits?

I have only had fruit from 3 trees. I bought 2 trees from Home depot that came from
Pine Island Nursery. The trees were spindly and the fruit was awful. Tasted woody and were
very seedy. I tossed the trees in the trash. The tree I have is around 10 years old and is a
winner. Fruit has a good balance of sweet and sour.
