Uses for tropical apricot (Dovyalis hebecarpa x D. abyssinica)

[Reedo]

Hi folks, has anyone found a good use for Dovyalis hebecarpa x D. abyssinica? From the fruit I tasted, it was pretty sour, and the texture was a little too mealy for my tastes. Has anyone made preserves with it? Dehydrated? Something else?

Juice or preserves. Any way you would use a mayhaw or cranberry.

Reedo, Pokeweed. My buddies. You guys know I have been looking for one of those things for a while. Apparently there is one that is sweet called prodigal.

I read somewhere that there were attempts to improve them decades ago, but haven't seen any of the results. mine are very tart, very little sweetness.

They root pretty easily from cuttings. I’ll see if I have any extra plants lying around, but I don’t think so. You might message Nate at Wildlands Plants and see if he’s selling any plants.

Are we talking about the one Adam is offering?
I saw the mother plant at the Fruit and Spice park, and wow it is gigantic.

These were from Nattyfrootz’s plant (Wildlands Plants). I don’t know where he originally got his plant.

Got my plant originally from Exotica, not sure where they sourced theirs from
