That ’s a white - fruited variety , though coco plum yield also come in blue - black . Both taste upright , though they are a number wiry with a big seed in the middle . Sort of like a sweet - fluffy cotton candy .
This next yield is a really uncanny one . It ’s called a “ screw true pine ” , also know asPandanus utilis .
The fruit is reportedly starchy and edible , though I ’ve never had a chance to give one a endeavor . Here ’s what the intact tree looks like :
Very weird - look – I wish I could grow one up here .
Another yield I bid I could grow is the sapodilla :
I ca n’t tell you how delicious these things are . This tree was arise in the same thou as the ackee fruit in the first pictorial matter . Someone is a gardener after my own heart .
lastly , here ’s an under - use fruit tree from the tropics that I really make love :
Those , in case you did n’t spring up up as blessed as I was , are sea grapevine .
My grandma and grandpa had them grow in a hedge along the back wall of their railyard in Ft . Lauderdale when I was a kid . My brother and I used to seek to take the air the entire bulwark in between their huge and twisting branches … and we also ate the fruit . The wood of the ocean grape is also a bright and lovely hardwood with an incredible cherry - orange coloration .
This Florida artisthas used it in a helping hand - carved bowl :
The yield is really best for jam - making but I used to eat it right from the tree diagram in time of year . Some are really good … and some taste weirdly over - ripe .
Even if you could n’t feed the fruit , however , the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree is a matter of beauty .
I reckon one day having a food woods in the tropic where I can institute untamed tropic yield like ocean grape vine , ackee and other marvellous tree together …
… until then , I ’ll seek to be well-chosen with visit down in the south .
