    This tree is approx. 5m tall, braud tree with thick trunk and roots similar to a Fig. Has large leaves, and a very distinctive fruit. Green when immature turning yellow when mature. Fruit hands on end of branches similar to a bunch of grapes. Tree looses its leaves in winter, very similar to a fig.

    Is there any chance we could have a photograph of the whole tree John? If you could also get a close-up of the leaves it may help us ID the tree for you. Thanks. :stew1:
