Dalmatie (rooted)

*In this package you will receive 1 small rooted tree of Dalmatie.

The main crop produced is massive in size and seems disproportionate when compared to the smaller size of the tree. The fruit is incredibly dense and sweet, and if there's a slight rain before it's picked, it becomes even juicier but still retains its sweetness. When fully ripe, a tiny drop of sugary syrup drips from the fruit's eye.
