Fruit ID Zone 10a FL
« on: May 28, 2018, 09:46:31 PM »
I tried Google searching for "small yellow fruit on trees in Florida" and got a lot about loquats. I know what loquats are and these aren't them. What are they? Thanks!

I have also seen quite a bit of these around they are easy to find this time of year with the yellow nuts hanging

It is a carrotwood tree seed pod. I don't think they are edible, also considered a weed in some cases.
