What’s Flowering Now? March 22
By Greg Tudor
This lightly fragrant bloom—pictured last week at the Friends of Trees lot—will very slowly become a delicious fruit, most familiar in East Asia.
Offered for sale by Friends of Trees and its Neighborhood Trees program for yards and 6- to 8-foot parking strips, this Japanese cultivar introduced in 1972 requires a pollinator to bear fruit.
Of course, due to the difficulty of transporting the delicate fruit, it is not common in grocery stores.
