Better late than never, and in this case late is okay, as it gave others the chance to figure out.<br />Your hubby is right - it is the KING of all fruits. And he's described the flowering process perfectly too!<br /><br /><br />Mary Mary, this fruit tastes heavenly! Will tell you all about it in a bit. Stay tuned...Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250675550143944134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903185378858969419.post-54134615754727206062010-11-19T13:03:17.655+08:002010-11-19T13:03:17.655+08:00Ahh, I come late to your post, as usual.

But my husband thinks they look like the durian flower, and if so, then these berries would be the early fruit - which would then grown into the prickly KING we love!<br /><br />Is he right?!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903185378858969419.post-3426186653994036302010-11-18T20:27:28.101+08:002010-11-18T20:27:28.101+08:00Thank you everyone for trying, but I'm afraid ...Thank you everyone for trying, but I'm afraid it's not any of the plants you mentioned...sorry.<br /><br />Some of you made an assumption that the berries are matured ones or close to ripening, hence coffee, longan...As I indicated in the photos it has been only two weeks since they started sprouting. It will be four more months before they ripen!<br /><br />Comments on individual plants mentioned: peppercorns - these grow on vines supported by wooden stakes;the berries are much smaller and are either green or black;<br />Jaboticaba - what we saw in the photos are matured or ripe berries;<br />Same thing applies to Coffee;<br />Cacao, or Cocoa trees grow up to six feet high, compared to 15 to 40 feet of my trees; Cocoa fruits are in the form of pods rather than berries;<br />Longan, eggplants are much smaller plants and the fruit would ripe at about marble or ping-pong ball size;<br />I don't know what a Pacific Madrone is so will have to look that one up.<br /><br />What I will do in my next post is to show you how the berries have progressed, and show more of the tree as well, okay?<br /><br />Thanks again for participating - I hope it was stimulating enough to take you away from other headaches you may have. Till next time, take care, and eat more fruits!Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250675550143944134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903185378858969419.post-44436919627357737012010-11-18T16:22:38.070+08:002010-11-18T16:22:38.070+08:00Oh dear.
