Description

Fruit - raw or cooked. Juicy with a delightful flavor, perfect as dessert fruit. The fruit is versatile and can be used for pies, jams, and so on, and can also be dried. The fruit has a diameter of up to 20 mm and a firm flesh. There can be up to five fairly large seeds inside, which often stick together, making it seem like you are eating a cherry-like fruit with one seed.
