Cannonball Tree

Article this time about the unique trees sure do you feel excited when I first saw it. For me this is the second location I see this Cannonball tree. The first time I saw it during a visit to Tenom Sabah Agriculture Park two years ago. If you're curious, you can see the tree is also available in the Penang Botanic Gardens. But alas, can not see the fruit Cannonball here. There was only the beautiful blooms that are blooming and pleasant aroma when inhaled.

The interesting thing about this tree, flower and fruit only just come out on the stem and stalk flowers / fruit may be dipping to the ground. By reference, the ripe fruit takes nine months from start to flower to produce fruit. When ripe it will fall out, fall to the ground and break due to the weight of their fruit. The fruits are broken will give unpleasant smell or white people say "unpleasant smells".

I'm not sure the fruit is seasonal or otherwise. However, when the opportunity to visit there, it was much once the tree is producing fruit. The fruit of the coconut. Its weight is also more or less of oil.

According to the reference, the fruit never seen eating by animals but for humans it is said to cause poisoning. However, in terms of medical leaves, flowers and fruit is said to be material if used in doses of medication / dose right.
