They have a pungent odour but taste nice. Certainly not as pungent as Durian, which is banned on the Singaporean MRT. But still tastes ok.

You can smell them after they fall off the trees. Kind of like a banana. Here they drop around October to November. The deer sure do like them. I do not care for them.

They grow wild along the river bottoms around me. Taste similar to bananas but lots of big seeds which you don’t eat.

They're not as tasty as store-bought fruit and very seedy, but native wild foods are cool. A wise man is frequently humbled.

Have tried to ripen some on the window sill but they were not that good. Think naturally ripe would be better but that is not happening here.

Or they were bad trees when shipped to me. I may try again, but not this year. "Shoot low sheriff, I think he's riding a shetland!" B. Wills
