Very cool I’ve actually never seen one of those prickly pears, only heard of them.
That is Rambutan, indonesian fruit . You can eat the flesh & seeds too. raw as well as cooked.
Lovely fruit tree, Dahlia. I wonder if the prickly skin would poke the fingers when you peel it to eat!!
Now I wish even more that I had reached out!
Haha… travel back and you’d have the chance!
I have no idea what the tree is.Not a prickly pear. It does not look like rambutan tree to me though the flowers(fruits) do look like unripe rambutan. Delicious fruit ate a lot in East Africa ( came from Zanzibar). I will try to find out and let you know.
Yes it is a wonderful rich treasure. Although I am sorry to have missed the wonderful colors which I believe are in full bloom now. Or is it later?
I’m such a fan of your trees, Dahlia1 thank you again!
