  1. Not something you see very often, but I did once. The fruit was, sadly, not bletted enough to pick, or eat, but then I am not sure if you eat them without cooking first.

    1. We tried letting some once, Deborah but weren’t impressed by the flavour. They tasted like over ripe apples. I haven’t read that you can cook with them. Of course we may have got the betting procedure all wrong.

  3. I have seen these fruits mentioned in novels. I had never seen one or known anything about them. Interesting post to me.
