Oops. Additional info I left
out – my friend says the tree/bush is about 15 ft tall. From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On
Behalf Of Dr. Lucky Pittman I have a friend in central AL, who emailed me with a request
for identification of a plant that I’m not familiar with. Not sure where she’s found this thing – I’ll have to get
more info; Has a dark green leaf that looks somewhat like Chinese
chestnut – without any significant serrations on the edges. Fruit appears to be the size of a peach or tangerine, has a
smooth orange surface. She says the pulp has the consistency of a peach,
but is somewhat sour, and she’s displayed 4 brown seeds which look very much
like buckeyes(Aesculus spp.) to me. Any ideas? I can send the photo, if anyone would care to see it. Lucky Pittman Hopkinsville |
