Tropical apricot - Eugenia myrcianthes (Seedling) ^2/10

Comments: -

Sounds nice , should get fruit 2019/20 ,lost flowers last year as I planted it from a large pot . Update 28/10/19 produced one apricot looking fruit that I had bagged till it dropped ripe . Tasted horrid , sweet with a tart tropical fruit taste ( mango/apricot ) juicy, and a strong pungent garlic flavour that is so bad that I can't believe this was sold to me as a fruit tree ,it's yuck . However I will give it another year to see if fruit improves . 

I did not buy this from Daleys.

Had a giant tree on our street when I was young , bright red fruit , a bit sweet but very resinous, somtimes if they we're really red they were just ok .
