Survived transport well. Spikey as hell, but tough. Growing well in FNQ Wet Tropics.

Trees growing in Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens, Brisbane. The fruit is sweet and juicy with a slight tartness, and has a the flavour and smell of an apricot.

I just planted one tree. Didn't water it except for the rain. It surprised me four years later with plenty fruits.

SUNNYBANK HILLS, QLD, Australia
I find Kei Apple very attractive. White bark with glossy dark green leaves. The thorns are very large and I'd imagine could cause a lot of damage if you were to step on one or fall against the bush. The fruit have a mild, but sweet flavour. Notes of A...

RUNCORN, QLD, Australia
These are such tough little buggers. I was told you need male and female plants, so I bought three, but I have no idea if I have different genders yet. One is a paler green than the others, but that might come down to slightly different soils?They're i...
San Diego , CALIF
Kei Apple
A large grove was planted in our cnyn in San Diego in 1908. over 100 years and going strong. they have never ever been watered. They seem to thrive on no watering even in the recent So Cal draught. Highly recommended. Easy to grow from seed.

Kei Apple
Kei Apple love our Southern California climate & soil. Year 7 after planting from specimens obtained from commercial nursery (3-4 years old) our harvest is bountiful. Easy to separate juice & pulp from skins & seeds by using a chinois-pestle.

The fruits have a tart but unique flavour. Amazing jelly & try making a Kei apple meringue as apposed to a lemon meringue pie.
Kardella, VIC, Australia
Grown to help protect cold sensitive plants from frost. Two have been run over by the ride on mower and have reshot. not sure that they are providing any frost protection, but I'm impressed with their staying power.

Kei Apple
Beautiful shrub very dark glossy foliage we have shaped ours into a ball, looks beautiful and the bees adore it, the fruit I have not tried but smells delicious and looks very similar to apricot. Thanks for all the information on this plant
Kei Apple
Slow growing away from the tropics but bullet proof once established. Tolerant of most soils. The thorns are incredibly long and sharp. The fruits are delicious and unusual.
