Summary

Dalrympelea pomifera, commonly known as Pomiferous Dalrymple, is a deciduous tree native to temperate woodlands and forest edges. The precise native geographic region is not well-documented, but it is believed to originate from certain temperate zones. Typically, it can reach a height of 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) with a similar spread. The tree is characterized by a rounded crown and produces inconspicuous flowers followed by notable, apple-like fruits which are green to yellowish in color.

Pomiferous Dalrymple is appreciated for its unique fruit which can add ornamental interest to the landscape. It is used in cultivation for its fruit and as a shade tree in parks and large gardens. This tree prefers full sun to part shade conditions and thrives in well-drained soils. It is relatively low-maintenance but may require occasional pruning to maintain its shape and remove any damaged branches. There is limited information on disease or pest problems specific to this species, but general tree care practices should be followed to maintain its health.CC BY-SA 4.0
