The Che Fruit also known as Mandarin Melon Berry, Chinese Mulberry, Cudrang, and Silkworm Thorn.

A close relative to Mulberries and Figs, Che is a cold-hardy, compact, tree that produces a high-quality fruit that has a sweet and juicy taste, often described as a mix of watermelon, melon, mulberry, and fig flavours, with a subtle, sweet taste that is most delicious when fully ripe. 

Native to the highlands of the Himalayas of China and Nepal, Che is an extremely cold hardy and winter deciduous plant. 

When grown from seed Che has both male and female plants , these plants we offer for sale are a self-fertile female selection, so only one plant is needed for fruit set.
