Kangaroo Apple

Fruits generously for a long period over Summer/Autumn but seedlings are prolific after fruiting so care should be taken not to let it invade. Very attractive and quick growing.

Kangaroo Apple

I grew 2 from tubes for the first time in the last blazing summer. Super fast growth to about 3m but get very leggy. Fruited heavily in first season - now have copious fruit again. Taste between citrus and tomato. Not ripe until nearly red.
