Harvesting in Rose Apple Growing:- Rose apple trees start bearing fruits 3 to 5 years after planting depending on the variety or about 2 years after top grafting. Hand picking is preferred during harvesting. As these fruits are highly perishable, one should not keep on the tree for a long time after ripening starts.

The Rose Apple tree is a self-fertile plant. This means that you do not require a pollinator in order for this tree to bear fruit, but these trees tend to do better in the presence of pollinators.

The rose apple is native to the East Indies and Malaya and is cultivated and naturalized in many parts of India, Ceylon and former Indochina and the Pacific Islands.

Various vegetative propagation methods have been satisfactory.. . . . .364011236255!]0000000000000009783314144581!]
