Myrtus communis fruit taste reviews?

[Plantinyum]

Found this species available and i'm wondering if i should buy one plant. That will depend on the reviels of the fruit though, is it ok for fresh consumption, or is it just used as a spice ?
Taste ??
Thanks !

Myrtus communis fruit can be eaten fresh, but even if sweet, it is a bit adstringent, and have almost no pulp. Basicaly it's the skin, 1mm of flesh and a bunch of hard seeds.
The leaves can be used the same way as bay leaves for seasoning meats with a strong taste (game species). The fruits are used in some mediterranean islands to prepare a very good liquour, specially in Corsica, where it is called "Liqueur de Myrte".
Hope it helps.

A neighbour had some Myrtus communis shrubs in the front yard. I'm guessing they were seedlings as the fruit on different plants were slightly variable to taste and colour.
Just slightly different flavours. I thought one was the best of the lot.
There are a bunch of wild Australian native Myrtus and relatives I have tried.
Here's one of them

If you are ok with wild fruit, I would rate Myrtus communist as quite pleasant, and very productive.
