Remember that this is a species which grows over a wide territory and
probably varies a lot. The cultivers don't have a long background of
selection, and may vary in their performance with soil and climate as do
apple cultivars.
People vary in their sensitivity to astringency, which decreases on
cooking in some fruits.

Find out as much as you can before planting the likeliest choice, but
don't forget to *explore*.
