Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- Indian dessert type with a saffron-apricot sweetness. The name means saffron. Fiber is low when the fruit is ripe.
- Ripens
- Early to mid summer. Let it soften; a firm Kesar is not the fruit people praise.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Compact and coverable. Protect the graft the first winters.
- Size
- Small to medium. Happy in a large pot for a while, though this bench size is a 7-gallon to plant out.
- Tips
- Full sun and a dry bloom period. It is a flavor tree, not a giant shade tree.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
