Dillenia speciosa Seeds
Elephant Apple
Dillenia speciosa or Elephant Apple as it is commonly known is an evergreen spreading tropical tree up to 18 meters in height. It has beautiful white fragrant flowers, toothed leaves and globose 7.5cm to 10cm fruits with small brown seeds. The greenish-yellow fruit, which has a thick protective covering, is edible; unripe fruits are cooked to make pickle and chutney. The juicy pulp is aromatic but quite acidic. It can also be used as an ornamental tree. Protect from frost or plant in frost free areas.
