Uses
It is cultivated for its pleasantly sour fruit which is used commercially in jam, wine, ice-cream and sauces.
The tree is propagated from seed and typically starts producing a crop by year four. It produces large crops of fruit from the trunk, and bagging is used to protect the fruit from sunburn and Australian king parrots. It likes protection from full sun and wind when young, adequate soil moisture, and good soil nutrition.
