Strange Jungle Tree Fruits
by FH2o on August 22, 2006
We came upon this bountiful harvest of fruits by the sandy banks of the Sungai Sarawak Kiri at Borneo Highlands on Sunday morning. Angelia, Kuching born but now living in
Pennsylvania, was intrigued and got out of the kayak to take a good look. Not knowing if these grapefruit size fruits are edible or not and not game enough to try; we collected a few back to ask friends but so far no one was able to help. Do anyone know what fruits these are?

what an ugly fruit!
FH2o, good morning.
Interesting. From the close-up picture, they look like seedless guava. Have you opened up any to see how the inside look like? What about the tree where these come from, the shape of the tree, the leaves, the tree trunk and branches? Any close-up picture?
wuching - ugly? interesting is more like it!
happy - next time I should cut it open and take a photo of it. the others were not so interested and didn’t wait up, so we had to hurry and didn’t take any photos of the tree. next time!
i agree with happysurfer, it looks like seedless guava
I read that if you eat those you will turn into a half-human half-fish monster.
Like the one with the adorable ears? LOL!!
oh dear, adorable ears or flippers?
hahaha
I did cut it open and inside are lots of seeds much like guava but not compact inside.
