What is this nut tree?
This small tree grows along roadsides close to the bank of the Colo
river west of Sydney. http://www.box.net/shared/static/mm49y5789h.jpg It has fruits containing nuts. The internal structure of the fruit looks something like a mangosteen, but the thin pulp has an astringent flavour. Inside the the thin shell is a pure white nut. It tastes pleasantly mealy, but not delicious. I spat it out in case it is poisonous. I don't think it is a native Australian species and there are a lot of garden escapes in this area. What species is it? |
