Sweet.Organic.No fruit fly problem.No bird problem.No rat problem.No fruit bat problem.Maybe that's because the harvest period is only two or three weeks, which might be too short to attract the attention of pests. Tropical appearance of palm.Less theft due to ignorance from passers-by. Is my tree sweeter than yours because of my better soil due to my mulching and fish waste 'sumps'?

Con's: 1.Acidity. Almost always after eating a lot, eg about 50-100, there are sore bleeding gums and tongue.

2. Not naturally a tropical fruit, ie not containing a slightly more natural higher fat level.

Lusciously beautifully strong sweet scent in the air, thanks to the flowers, during Summer, up to maybe late March.

Rare edible small pods.

Maybe mainly a male, but is rarely changing to a bisexual/hermaphrodite tree producing very sparse small pods.
