Fruit ID Requested
« on: October 16, 2016, 09:45:07 AM »
A couple of days ago while hiking with a group, I've noticed a tree that I don't recognize, loaded with small, round, yellow/whitish fruit in small bunches.
Does anyone knows what this could be, and if it is edible?
I've opened a fruit and it just pops between the fingers to reveal a mucilaginous white pulp which is somehow sticky.

Thank you Alexandre!
Do you know if the fruit is edible? The little search that I've made only mentions it's use as shade tree for other crops, and for wood...
