Hi, a friend is working in Northern NSW (Australia) where this fruit tree is growing. He said the fruit tastes similar to a plum, both sweet and sourish, with dark red flesh. The one in the photo had two seeds and the fruit grows directly on the trunk, similar to a japoticaba I guess. Any ideas?[/url] Leaves/trunk ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) Plum like fruit ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) Red flesh ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) The tree from a distance ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) [/img]
Thanks Jerry, I think you're probably right. I didn't see the tree for myself, but will check if the fruit grows on a long stem, on the trunk.
