The fruit are often eaten fresh, or made into jam. Some cultivars have been selected for being thornless (making harvesting easier) and for larger fruit. The tropical apricot, or ketcot, is a hybrid between D. hebecarpa and D. abyssinica that was developed in Florida in 1953 and is also cultivated for its fruit. DescriptionIt is a shrub or small tree growing to 6 m tall, with sharp, 3–6 cm long stem spines in the leaf axils. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple broad lanceolate, 5–10 cm long and 1–3 cm broad, with an entire or finely toothed margin. The flowers are inconspicuous, solitary or clustered, with no petals. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, though some female plants are parthenogenetic. The fruit is an edible dark purple globose berry 2–3 cm diameter, very juicy with an acidic flavour, and containing several small seeds. The fruit is quite acidic, so it is usually not eaten fresh.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-4776119|title=The Plant List: A Working List of All Plant Species|accessdate=7 July 2015}} {{Commons category|Dovyalis hebecarpa}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q2537081}}2. ^1 2 {{citation |url=https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=14617 |title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy |accessdate=24 December 2015}} 3. ^Trade Winds Fruit 1 : Dovyalis |
