There are many differences in fruit here compared to the USA. For example, oranges here are green, not orange. What is considered a plum isn’t anything equivalent to a plum in the USA.
There is a growth on a tree at the center where the school is that looks a lot like a watermelon. I (DeAnna) don’t know what fruit it is and the gardeners have told me to stay away from it, so I will.
I would definitely follow the advice of the gardners and stay away from it!
I thought you were going to talk about jackfruit! Isn’t this the “fruit” that the boys break open and make helmets out of? I guess eating them make one sick.
They’re calabashes. Fun to play with, but probably not to eat!
We had a tree like that at CABTAL and I thought that is what Lois cooked and called bread fruit. Someone else told me the fruit can be dried like a gourd in the U.S. and made into bowls. I was amazed that something so large grew on a tree. They must not be too heavy!
Sounds like I would heed the advice of the “locals”…
