The fruit is typically harvested in the autumn months, specifically from late September to November. During this time, the trees are adorned with clusters of bright red berries, which are not only visually striking but also delicious.

Many restaurants and markets in Mallorca celebrate this seasonal bounty by incorporating the fruit into various dishes, from jams and desserts to savory sauces. If you’re in Mallorca during this time, you will not only get to enjoy the sight of these beautiful trees but can also partake in the local tradition of tasting the fruit, which reflects the island's rich agricultural heritage.
