A mystery solved


A blooming Cannonball tree

Last October I wrote about strange fruits I saw in a tree. Those fruits were huge, like cannonballs. Yesterday I walked in the Esplanade Park and saw a signboard next to a familiar looking tree. The tree was blooming, but the signboard told that the tree will have huge cannonball like fruits which looked exactly the same I had seen earlier. And the tree's commonly used name is Cannonball tree, Couroupita guianensis in Latin.

One always learns something new :)
