They hang down beautifully


baby fruits









Another fruiting tree at the back of Mother in Law's house.
They hang down beautifully..... they are chewy and tasty, a delicacy as salad or ulam.


Oh, someone may wish to guess the name of these hanging fruits...

    5. Oh, how beautyful it looks! And I'm real jelous of you who are having sun and nice warm weather. I'm sick of the cold and the snow we've got now. If Bilbo leaves for Malaysia I think I'll join him =)

    7. Bangchik - I really don't know. They are not fruit of the sapota tree, are they? This is a tough question, but oh, so interesting, as are all your posts! Pamela

    13. look so much like a "jambu air" but I know the water apples do not hang like that.
      Is it passion fruit? or those ones known as cameronhighland apple?

    14. The name is pokok "putat".
      or Barringtonia racemosa

      Cheers

    15. Salam.
      Bangchik, I could have been mistaken, but I believe I saw a pokok putat (with its fruits dangling down) outside the new masjid in Putrajaya a few months back.
