I’m actually not sure if I posted about this fruit before. (Can you tell me if I did?) Anyway, my very generous neighbor has this big fruit bearing tree in front of his house. At certain times of the month, the fruits become ripe and start giving off this sweet-smelling scent which attract a lot of insects. And people too. Other neighbors would circle his house and wait for him to harvest the fruits and ask for a piece. Lol That’s just the way it is here. Yesterday was the day and I could take pictures before he sliced the fruits into portions and gave them away to the waiting neighbors. Lol Clue: this may be named after Uncle Jack.

Yes, I recognize those fruits... Do you know what they are? I don't remember you writing a discussion about this type of fruit but I remember that @allknowing has written about them before.
