I can visualize what you described, and somehow that is really how we get the taste from santol, however the fruit you are describing with green rind that easily splits open with a round seed doesn't get into my mind. That is different from this santol, and we don't have that. I searched ginnup and maybe you mean Ackee, Melicoccus bijugatus. We dont have it but it is also in Sapindaceae Family related to lychee and longan which we are more accustomed with.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-36448655623178284012012-07-19T16:23:44.379+08:002012-07-19T16:23:44.379+08:00Yes, they also do that here, maybe people like you...Yes, they also do that here, maybe people like you who missed their beginnings will try it, but yes too it might pacify the cravings but will not really give you the excitement of eating the fresh santol with the skin. The thrill is also in pricking it with your thumbnail and cracking it open with the help of your knees!

Oh they can't wait till November, we don't do any processing. If only it can be preserved, it's not yet studied in postharvest because low commercial value, hehe!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-67044410567048550432012-07-19T08:14:05.254+08:002012-07-19T08:14:05.254+08:00Can't find it here.

There was little pulp, comparatively, and the only way you could get it off was to pop the seed with pulp into your mouth and scrape the pulp off with your teeth, but they were tasty and a fun snack. Do you have any fruit that sounds like that? (I never saw them growing - they were just for sale on the street corners - so I can't even tell you if they grew on a shrub or tree or ???)Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-24349448133310766342012-07-18T17:28:59.375+08:002012-07-18T17:28:59.375+08:00It actually is far from the house, maybe 30 meters...It actually is far from the house, maybe 30 meters. It is already outside the garden, near the goathouse! We dont really plant trees too close because our typhoons are very strong too.

That is a large tree. Looks beautiful and I'd love to try the fruit. I always worry about trees too close to the house...especially after a strong wind storm. Two days ago we had hurrican force winds. Crazy!! Another fun and educational post. Thanks for sharing. Hope your week is going well.
