You can see one of t the normal fruits developing in the first picture .
But what are the other things? They look almost like red legume pods,
and when examined and opened could be! See the second picture. They are
2 - 4 cm long, and the skin is around 2mm thick. They snap cleanly
exactly like a pea pod would. In all the ones I have opened, they have
evidence of one or two (immature?) seeds.

Any ideas?


I would guess that they are from flowers that have not been well pollinated.
As to why, I don't know.

If the taste of the 'fruit' is acceptable, can one live with it?
