It is also called beach apple. [5] A present-day Spanish name is manzanilla de la muerte, 'little apple of death'. This refers to the fact that manchineel is one of the most toxic trees in the world: it has milky-white sap that contains numerous toxins and can cause blistering.

The fruit production varies between 30 and 70 kilograms (70 and 150 pounds) per tree and year, depending on the variety and age. [5] Grafting on medlar seedlings is not recommended because of the slow growth of the grafts.
