Description
Fruit - can be eaten raw or cooked. They are either eaten directly or processed into jelly, preserves, etc. They are small, with a diameter of about 25 mm, and grow in small clusters. The fruits ripen in October and have a texture and appearance that strongly resembles an apple, making them an excellent fruit for desserts. Inside the fruit, there are usually five fairly large seeds that often stick together, making it seem as if you are eating a cherry-like fruit with only one seed.
