*we do not ship live plants yet, plants are pick up only

 

The fruit is thin, but edible and bittersweet. I enjoy eating it as a snack on hikes. The pit however, is very large and highly toxic. Native peoples did eat it after processing. I wouldn't recommend trying that at all.

 

 It can also be pruned into a hedge.

 

It is also a hostplant for a Western Tiger Swallowtail, though I have not seen a caterpillar yet.
