Interesting vid Adam. Wait for those flying saucers to land and you will be surprised. Those goose eggs should be laid on a few people as well because they are good. Lakoochas can be fair sized trees and the fruit taste a bit like almost ripe apricots with plenty of flesh. The kwai muks also can get big and are even more cold tolerant. The fruit are a bit reddish inside and surprising like a juicy fig. I think the shangs have a tomato flavour going on as well.

thanks ... i never noticed any tomato flavor on these shangs, just like strawberry jam, but tart, slight astringency, and texture of guava paste, I love themz, just wish they'd finally set fruit...had flowers so far, but no fruits, it's like a liana, not a true tree, behaving like bougainvillea...

The local species here in the same genus has fruit that taste the same and it grows jus like Bouganvillea.
