Yorkshirelass said:Could it be Coccoloba uvifera (Sea Grape Tree) Thank you for the suggestion ..but it is definitely not Coccoloba unifera. I am very familiar with that..it has almost round leaves with very prominent mid vein. https://www.google.co.uk/searc... |

| Ahhh.... that's it... Inocarpus fagifer..., (please ignore my previous post)... thanks to remind me of this forgotten fruit tree in my country. here it is called Gayam tree. it was once grown for its edible seed (after baking) but now almost unheard. |
