JohnMc1 says... I have held the same opinion, denise. That's surprising to hear how nice they really are. I'll have to look after mine a little closer from now on (after it rains, of course). They appear to be very drought tolerant. Mine's around 1.6m high. So they grow quite easily from cuttings? I'll drop a couple of cuttings in for sternus in case he can't get hold of an established one. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 4th February 2014 8:51pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... The skin looks rough but melts in the mouth. Inside it is orange, slightly juicy and pasty. Though nice, they are satisfying in small quantities. I always thought they would taste chunderous inside as is with some cornus (dogwood) fruit. The taste was similar to strawberry, but no tartness. They need to be well ripened. I suppose all trees will be that good but cant guarantee as I havent tasted them before. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 5th February 2014 8:50am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Irish Strawberry are very common around here and most of the nurseries sell them. The picture is of a massive one currently laden with fruit just around the corner from my house (taken today)so it gives you an idea how big they get. I tried some of the fruit off it, and the flavour is an aromatic orange flavour, a bit like orange candy and not at all acidic but its a pity about the skin and the granules. They would make a good shade tree having a large canopy although the fruit make a mess on the ground. One good thing is they don't all ripen at the same time so you can just pick a few as they ripen over an extended period of time.
