Title: Halla tree fruit Written by: bio_man on Feb 17, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/6_17_02_13_1_27_04.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11350) This is the fruit of the Halla tree (Pandanus tectorius). The tree grows to 4–14 m (13–46 ft) tall and is found from Port Macquarie in New South Wales to northern Queensland, Australia and Indonesia east through the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. The fruit can be eaten raw or cooked and is a major source of food in Micronesia.

Locals have nicknamed it 'stink nut', because it gets pungent when fermented. Written by: duddy on Dec 25, 2013 Fascinating, I want to try it now :D Written by: padre on Aug 25, 2013 |
