    Midge,
    you're thinking of a chocolate pudding fruit/black sapote/black persimmon, I just had one for dessert. This is neither a durian or a black sapote. If it was a durian you could all smell it from where you are sitting and there's no way I would bring one into the house to take a photo of it. Apparently durian is the only fruit a tiger will eat-smells like dead meat. Keep guessing gentlemens, thisa one isa bloody beautiful.

    Bob,
    anytime you want to drop by in the next month you can take your pick off the tree. Makes a very refreshing drink, slightly tart sherbetty sort of taste.

    ,
    did you notice the ruler in the bottom of the photo? If I could grow lychees that weighed about 1.5Kg (even if they were green) I'd be a rich man.

    Default No Sour Grapes

    Mick,

    http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/Hort/Fmr...eg/soursop.htm

    I found it on Google so I am not upset because I had no clue at all really - just like most times.

    To make good, I will gratefully accept one of your exotic fruits next time I am in FNQ.
