some not so common fruit trees at the hort park



i missed the fruit and vegetable section during my last two visits to the horticulture park at hyderabad road.
came across some not so common fruits in this section. most of the fruit trees are pot grown and quite a number of them were already bearing fruit. there is this biriba from brazil which i mistook for a custard apple. it belongs to the same family as the soursop. like custard apples, the over-ripe fruit will become unattractively black.
one of the fruit trees laden with lots of fruit is the water apple. although the pale green water apples were not big, there were so many on the tree that it seemed the whole tree was bogged down by them.
another not so common fruit plant found in the garden is the raspberry which thrives in cooler temperate climate.
