30 Bananas a Day!

What is this fruit? Tastes like apricot jam!

It grows in abundance here in Northern California on pretty trees that bloom with pink flowers. I think it's Asian, but I can't find any information on it. It tastes fantastic! Like a ball of apricot jam with many textures. It's hard to describe the taste, the appearance is easier to write about. The outside is completely round, yet bumpy to the touch. The bumps are right red dots with a translucent background that reveals the inside color. The inside is a bright orange. My snap shot above does not show its beauty. It's quite beautiful in person.

UPDATE:
Anne (from this site) solved it!
Here is a link to the info...

Thanks Anne! :)

Anne, now you have me thinking... ;D)
I wonder if Canistel is in the "eat only one" Unedo family. (-hee..hee.) I can't eat too many of those either.

Unedo means "eat only one". - I agree with you two, I can eat more than one but not lots.
..Anne you made me giggle. ;D)

Regarding how many to eat, the botanical name is Arbutus unedo.
Unedo means "eat only one".
I agree with you two, I can eat more than one but not lots.

I feel the same. I really like them, but I can't eat lots of 'em. ;)

it is a strawberry fruit tree-fruit, i believe. i found them when i was living in arcata last year. they were delicious when perfectly ripe. but weirdly i couldn't eat that many of them. they really got to me. i have heard interesting information about them too. let me know what happens.
