They latch on to the trees and slowly kill them. This was on my red guava tree. Not sure what species they are but here in local language we call them "Ithil"

Pomelo fresh off the tree

They're so easy to grow. Fruits abundantly.

extremely high in vitamin C. Sweet tart flavour. Juicy as hell. Perfect summer snack. Plus they have beautiful flowers.

Tastes so much sweeter. Might be cuz the fruit is smaller or cuz it's summer here in India

Both are really sweet and are local wild varieties. The fruits of the white one gets almost 4-5 times the size while red one can get almost twice as big as shown here. Both trees are around 30 years old and gives tons of fruit

Just a few jack fruits getting ripe. One thing we have in plenty is these yummy ones. You can cook em when they're going, eat em raw or ripe, make snacks with them, eat the seeds. Soo much edible stuff from a single fruit

The best thing about night rides during monsoon is that you get free mangoes on the road ...

Strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum) is small but packed with flavor—soft, slightly grainy, and juicy like regular guava, with tiny edible seeds.

Taste-wise, it’s sweet and fragrant with a distinct strawberry-like note, balanced by a mild tang, making it feel like a mix of guava + strawberry + a hint of passionfruit.

Miracle berry :

Native to West Africa, miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) has a mildly sweet, soft pulp but is famous for its unique ability to make sour foods taste sweet due to the compound miraculin. It’s commonly eaten fresh before tasting citrus or used in “flavor-tripping” experiences rather than for cooking.

Native to southeastern Brazil, jaboticaba grows directly on tree trunks and has a thick skin with a juicy, jelly-like pulp that’s sweet, slightly tart, and grape-like in flavor. It’s commonly eaten fresh or used to make wines, jellies, and liqueurs due to its rich, aromatic taste.

Native to Brazil and widely grown in places like India, the cashew apple is juicy and fibrous with a sweet-tart, slightly astringent taste. It's eaten fresh or used for juices, jams, and even fermented into local drinks, while the attached cashew seed is processed into the nut we eat.
