They have bright yellow flowers first thing in the spring, followed by fruit in late summer. The fruit are bitter until perfectly ripe, when they're ready they're delicious (like sour candy). Hardy little guys, with no significant pests or diseases. Seeds have a long dormancy, will likely take a full year to germinate. Limited supply
