Looking for an intriguing addition to your garden? Meet the Ketcot, a fascinating hybrid fruit from the same family as the Kei apple, originating naturally in Florida.
This dense, small tree boasts vigorous growth, reaching up to 2 meters per year in ideal conditions. It’s self-fertile and remarkably hardy, tolerating light frosts, various soil types, and strong winds. Whether you have full sun or semi-shade, the Ketcot will thrive! While it does have some large thorns, its many benefits far outweigh this minor detail.
The Ketcot produces tart, seedless fruit with a flavor reminiscent of apricots, but with a more pronounced sour note. While some enjoy it fresh off the tree, its true potential shines in the kitchen. The fruit’s velvety skin hides juicy, red-orange pulp that’s exceptionally rich in Vitamin C. Use it to create delicious:
- Chutneys and jams
- Brandies and wines
- Cocktails and liqueurs
- Savory sauces for meats
- Sweet toppings for ice cream
As this is mature, your Ketcot tree can fruit prolifically throughout the year, providing a continuous harvest of this unique and versatile fruit. Don’t miss the chance to grow this interesting and rewarding tree!
