Karen it has an anti-shake built in the app....
GG they are edible, can be used for cakes, and liqueur the word unedo, attributed to Pliny the elder (allegedly) translates to I eat only one!! one was good enough? or one was quite enough? I have tried them, not inspiring, better used for the liqueur!!

What I like about this variety you have is the bright yellow of the fruit as they ripen. On my pink vars the fruits dont have that. They are a more insipid colour until fully ripe. I might have to get a white flowering one as well!

That's true Karen, a tree well worth having in any garden, small or large..

I went to buy one from Ornamental Trees. The had it priced under £40 for a 10L pot ..decent sized plant. Then when I went to pay for it, they wanted 25 for delivery! But I’ll probably get one in a local nursery.

Oh my goodness that's a bit steep!

Certainly is. But I dont want a teeny one so I’ll have a bit of a shopping trip.
