Dalmatie (Cuttings)

*In this package you will receive 1 cutting of Dalmatie. At least 3 nodes in length.

The main crop fruits are very big and look enormous when compared to the small size of the tree. The fruit is very dense, sugared and surprisingly, if it rains a little before harvesting, then it becomes juicier without losing its qualities. When perfectly ripe, a drop of sugary honey flows from the eye.
