One of my exotic rare fruit in my collection. This is from my young Mahkota Dewa tree or God's Crown (Phaleria macrocarpa). It's been fruiting all year round and this is only a 2 year old tree. It makes a good tea with lots of health benefits. Anyone of you familiar with this?

New to me. Must be one of your several species that you grow. How does it taste?

Taste bitter sweet in tea. The dried pulp is stored in a jar.

I don't think I know this fruit. I assume you can eat this as well? For 2 years old, it is thriving well

I have never heard of this one, and if @allknowing has not either then I know it must be a unique fruit.
