Some years you can really get a mess of squishy fruits on the ground around the tree, so keep that in mind as you decide on the right place for this tree in your landscape.Steve Willsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098584432333519732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6629602865933201771.post-67973943133368197542009-10-13T06:47:25.713-04:002009-10-13T06:47:25.713-04:00...I was thinking of getting a few of these trees ......I was thinking of getting a few of these trees for my yard.
