This would be a good question for the Tropical Fruit forum.
I'm interested in knowing what you find out.

Bump...

Does anyone have any ideas? I posted over at the Tropical Fruits forum and no response yet.

Hmmmmm...

It looks like a Jamaican cherry (Muntingia calabura) except that those have white flowers.

It has leaves similar to Mulberry. But the flowers/fruit and not even close.

It looks nothing like my Jamaica Cherry. which has narrow, soft leaves, white blooms and fruit that look like cranberries.

It may not be edible. I'd really like to know what it is!!

Yeah, I'd like to know too! I've sent an e-mail w/pictures to Tom Maccubin, maybe he can help.

If it is edible, I'm going to make a big batch of either jelly, preserves, or jam! (with permission from the renters living in the house)

I suppose I could just ask them to ask the owners (who are out of state)...I may this evening.

You might want to try posting it on the Name that Plant! forum (link below). I have received really fast responses.

Here is a link that might be useful: Name that Plant!

The Tropical Fruit Forum answered! Alan is so knowlegeable!

Looks right to me..

See below.

Here is a link that might be useful: phalsa

Whoo-hoo! Looks like I'll try to make some jam this weekend. I wonder if I can freeze the fruit (like blueberries)?

This is so cool, the property has 6 of these trees, and no one has any idea what it is. They all think it's poisonous.

Yay! Sounds like good jam coming!
Also sounds like it might make a good wine? Since it ferments easily.
At least it's not poisonous!

Never heard of this tree before.

Reviving an old thread.....

I have tasted Phalsa berries and they are tasty... I would like to grow it in Raleigh NC and was wondering its cold tolerance....

Gardengrl... if you still active on the forum, I would like to know the answer to this..

1. I am interested in knowing if this plant is in still producing berries.

2. That it is indeed Phalsa.

Thanks !!
