🍈 What fruit tree is full of fruit year around

Our Dwarf June Plum that we mentioned earlier is full of fruit again! Looks like this tree is fruiting year around. We always see either fruit on it, or both flowers and fruit. It is probably the heaviest producer we've ever seen!

• ✳️ This exciting fruit tree will amaze you with its ability to fruit abundantly at a young age and small size. This is a DWARF variety of June plum, or Ambarella (Spondias cytherea).
• ✳️ Compact 6-7 ft tree. Perfect container fruit tree.
• ✳️ Very aromatic fruit, resembling that of a Mango (it's Mango's close relative) but with completely different, fragrant flavor.
• ✳️ Expect heavy fruit production!
