whats the name of this fruit?

Never heard or seen these fruits b4

It looks like pepper

It's Surinam cherry, I remember plucking it when I was in primary school. It's not something you see around..

Pitanga.

The bush was used as hedges in Ikoyi decades ago.

You are welcome. you are lucky to have them around you. The last time I saw and tasted it was in early 90's.

It has a lot of benefits

True

The last time I saw it was 1996 in FGC Ikot Ekpene

So it was a surprise to see it here in Port Harcourt

I wish all these old plants could be planted in cities

Those days people don't pay the exhorbitant amount we pay today for fruits

I bought 4 mangoes for N200 on Saturday

Something we used to pluck for free everywhere as kids

Hi there,

I wonder what city you are based in. I would like to get some of the Surinam Cherries that you referred to in your post last year. Are they still available?
