This tree is precocious and produces delicious little fruits with a flavor that is hard to describe. The fruit is astringent when freshly picked. Fruit must be left to sit for about 24 hours before eating to remove astringency. The little flowers are very attractive.

Nance trees are typically thought to be small. However, I found one at the Fruit and Spice Park of Homestead which was well over 30 feet tall (see picture).
