Imbe Quantity:Single Tree

Imbe Quantity:Single TreeOriginating in Africa, this tree bears a small plum like fruit bright orange in colour. A thin layer of acid sweet, watery pulp surrounds the seed. The rather tender skin tends to prevent packing and shipping of the fruit, but it deserves to be more widely cultivated as a home fruit. Hardy to most conditions. Dark green leathery leaves and ornamental structure make it appealing as an interesting and edible landscape plant. Grows to a bush or small
