  Yes what a beautiful tree.

  We tried to grow one many years ago but it was never happy and gave up.

  The fruits are edible and taste rather like strawberries but only when they are well ripened. Mine do not ripen fully until December.

  @Svetlana.guzeeva     The fruit make a nice jam - well ripened of course.https://urbangardenersrepublic.com/strawberry-tree-jam-recipe/

  A good hoeing is worth two waterings.
