RE: 📷 Lost Crops Of Africa "Green Monkey Orange Tree"

in #treetuesday • 6 years ago

Fascinating info on the monkey orange tree Joan, thank you for sharing this with us. Gosh the name says it all, I was tempted to try this but when I heard the pips are poisonous I was not keen at all!

Sort:  

It looks like quite an art to get into the fruit, the pips are slippery, if not chewed should do no damage, just pass through @lizelle

What saddens me is we have lost touch with knowledge in nature, the local inhabitants pass the information down by word of mouth. The internet has opened up volumes on topics one never thought about previously.
