Economic uses. Wood strong, hard, close-grained and reddish- 
brown. Used principally for furniture, office and store fixtures and 
for the backing of electrotypes. The bark is used in medicine. 
The fruit is often combined with other fruit to impart a flavor. 
Horticultural value. It is hardy but is somewhat difficult to 
transplant, grows rapidly in the open while young, does not grow 
tall but develops a wide oval crown. It has not been used much 
for ornamental planting and can scarcely be recommended because 
it is subject to the San Jose scale and tent-caterpillar. It might 
be permitted to grow along fences because the fruit is an attraction 
for the birds and if the trees could not be utilized for anything else 
they could be worked into fence posts.
