Yes, since you told me the way to do links, i am putting them wherever i can

they need quite a bit of water, but produce handsomely. The fruits can sometimes look a bit bruised, but taste delicious like a peach without the fur... they make beautiful jam I am told..

yes, i make a batch of nisperro jam every year!!! It lasts me the whole 12 months till i make more!! I am eeking out my last jar as we speak...

Maybe post the recipe here. ;-))

Interesting. I have two trees, as yet not big enough to provide me with surplus, so I usually buy some. To me the fruit is deffo nothing like anything else that I have tasted. It's related to the medlar, but is a lot more tasty as medlars have to rot before eating. I tend to just visit the tree every few days and eat all the fruit that has ripened. Same with the figs. It makes a great breakfast to walk round the garden and eat fruit that is perfectly ripened on the tree.

Talking of which, has anyone tried azufaifos? To me they are like a shrivelled, unripe apple with very little taste, but they are popular enough to be sold in the Cadiz area in the supermarkets.

What's the attraction there?
