This is one completely neglected tree. I have never seen even a single ripe fruit from it. The fruits all fall while still green. And any which appear ripened on the ground is beyond salvaging. Already affected by fungus. I think this might be due to the lack of rain. This tree is not in Chennai, but at my village further South and it's almost like a desert there. Moh'd, was it completely bland?
Moh'd, could it be like most other fruits that are bland and tasteless when store bought, but sweet when self grown? I've not tasted it, but the aroma from the raw fruits makes me feel it might have some taste to it.The reason I haven't tried it is because I was unsure whether it was edible or not. Also, since certain plant have parts that are toxic when unripe, I didn't want to take any chance. Yes, these raw fruits are really a gluey mess.
Sure, home grown fruits will taste better, in most cases. As for Aegle marmelos, try to get a selected variety and try it. Let us know if you like it or not.
