« on: April 01, 2024, 03:11:57 PM »
Height of tree: about 15 feet
Size of fruits: similar to an average grapefuit
Skin is sandy like sapodillas and mamey sapote
Felt solid when I tapped on them
Nobody was around for me to ask.
Size and shape of fruits: similar to a "donut" peach.
Texture of skin: hard like the typical apple pear (Asian pear)
Height of tree: 15 feet or more
Fruits cluster at the bottom of trunk or anywhere along the upper branches
Owner said that the fruits taste sweet like honey, when ripened.
Leaves are very large, some are huge.
Currently they're still very unripe.
He doesn't know why but these are not popular to eat, and are never sold in markets, because they're so plentiful.
I believe these are Ficus auriculata
Height of tree: at least 20'
Size of fruits: grapefruits
Appearance: looks like grapefruits
Hard, solid to the touch, not depressible like grapefruits
Smooth shiny skins
Light weight
Owner said that these are not edible.
He said that the inside is dark color and the seeds are fermented in alcohol and the solution is applied to the back for muscle and back pain.
