May I suggest another plant for your consideration?  A noble and ancient
tree, the Cornelian Cherry (cornus mas) deserves to be planted as it has
culinary use both as a sweet ripe fruit and as an alternate for olives when
picked
green.   Their spectacular yellow flowering has made them a popular
landscape
plant in the past decade.  Since it takes 6 to 12 years for reliable fruit
production, I wonder how many who planted it for landscaping yet realize
they
also planted a fruit tree?
