Remember my
post on 8 Oct this year , more than two months ago? Now the flowers have already transformed into fruits. It's only five...nevertherless it's quite good for a bad planter like me. Anyway, till now I keep on wondering what variety this fruit belongs to. Chokanan?...nayyy...since the texture of the flesh is somewhat fibrous, and crisp....the skin's a lil thicker than chokanan's. When ripe, the unpeeled fruit gives a distinctive resinous sweet smell. Color of the flesh is deep yellow to orenji..(apologize for my colorblindness) and it tastes as sweet as honey.
I bought the seedling in August 1999 at Stadium Bukit Jalil when I was on duty as an exhibitor (hehe sounds funny, LOL) at AGEX 99. The label on the seedling bag was of Malgoa's variety thus I inclined to believe it due to the appearance of the leaves and it was the reason I bought it. Then I realized I was a dupe of my own ignorance...looks can be deceiving. Anyway, I like this fruit whatever it is. I like it better than apples, peaches or even Kuala Pilah's dragon fruits but eating it quite messy, unless you care to remove the skin with patience and passion...attributes I'm lacking of. One of my colleagues also bought one for his home. His plant grew so vigourously and became mabuk daun even disrupting the power lines near his house, but still bearing no fruit at all not even any sign of flowering..whereas mine have been fruiting twice. So, early this year the poor guy chopped down the tree..I feel sorry for him.. and the plant too.
Hehehe I still found this nametag hanging on my wall...I never meant to keep it, but at least it reminds me of something about the past.

Rasa cam pernah tengok je rancangan tu..tapi tak menarik, biasa je...patut aku jadi penerbitnya, tentu rating high cam akademi fantasia..siap artis undangan siti lijah lagi..
