This is the first fruit I have seen - I think they are only grown where you have lots of space. thank you for the Christmas card! <br />Kim,<br />really? chocolate ice cream bean! I think the kids are pulling your leg, unless they are talking about the black sapote also called the chocolate pudding fruit. I do like those - will have to do a post on those in the new year.<br />Tricia,<br />It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I stop at farm stalls - hope you had a good trip. <br />Stellamarina,<br />Tahiti? gosh it is amazing how much of our fruit originated in South America. <br />Malay Kadazan,<br />I guess it is that time of year for us when ice cream is on our minds.<br />Norma Chang,<br />thanks for commenting, yes I have tried persimmons and like most tropical fruit has to be very ripe before eating.<br />Lorraine,<br />as with most tropical fruit it doesn't keep well. One people that hang in for the sticky summer get the rewards! <br />Akika,<br />it does!africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-14353954819515602302011-12-19T17:43:50.061+10:002011-12-19T17:43:50.061+10:00That's so interesting!

I too LOVE shopping at honesty stalls. We're forever stopping when we drive in the country. We're actually off now....for a quick overnight camping trip.

With all the unseasonal rain we have been getting this year on the farm, the kids have been asking to plant this tree ( mainly because it is called the 'icecream 'bean I think) . I think there is a chocolate one too, and that is the one they have really been asking about!<br />Might have to have a go , even though we aren't all that tropical!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958193502828236814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-34339666722541960712011-12-16T20:54:41.721+10:002011-12-16T20:54:41.721+10:00I've heard of this plant but never actually se...I've heard of this plant but never actually seen one up close. What a fascinating thing it is. I wonder who decided it should be called the ice cream bean? Love the sound of that banana ice-cream, and your version ... lychee! Both would go down very well in this heat.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-7825946050647797622011-12-16T20:24:10.603+10:002011-12-16T20:24:10.603+10:00Bardzo ciekawe drzewo i owoce.
