| It grows near Garda lake - north Italy, but the fruits were more like small orange apples. Leaves not as apricot - very bumpy surface... Ireena |

| Too bad you didn't try any. They probably had them in the markets, if there were a lot of them around. |

| It makes a good sweet jam, not that yummy to just eat. The birds love them. Here they reseed everywhere. |
