Description

The Black Pearl Wax Apple is a stunning tropical treasure, prized for its dramatic beauty and refreshing crunch. This unique fruit, shaped like a glossy red bell, has skin so thin and waxy it appears lacquered, maturing to a deep, burgundy-black hue. The snow-white, spongy flesh is extraordinarily crisp, juicy, and subtly sweet with a delicate, floral aroma. More than just delicious, it’s a conversation piece—a crisp, hydrating snack that grows on an attractive, fragrant-leaved evergreen tree perfect for warm-climate gardens.
