The rose-apple tree. Evergreen, spreading (branch- 

 ing) from the base and of medium sizei Culti- 

 vated for its fruit, which is of the size and form of 

 a crab apple. Afieets moist situations and is a good 

 tree for scenic plantings, being very effective in flower. 

 The fruit has a delicate rose-water flavour, but on 

 the other hand it is too dry and cottony to be in 

 great demand. The tree produces two crops yearly.
