We all refer to it as fruit, but wanna ask, what is its original name?

That thing looks like a potato. I don't think it's a fruit.

fellis: That thing looks like a potato. I don't think it's a fruit.

. ..it is not potato,

it's plucked frm trees, we do refer to it generally as fruit, but i believe it will have its original name...

It is called almond

bunmioguns: We all refer to it as fruit, but wanna ask, what is its original name?

femojie:
ALMOND

well based on wht i saw in google, dis is the picture of almond, but dis one is entirely different from almond

Lagusta: I don't think its is an almond oooo, almonds are nuts, this fruit is a fleshy fruit, me too i am a bit confused

you are right, they are not the same. .

Ok, now that I have seen a picture of it from another angle it does look like an almond. Nigerian almond.
Or ebelebor

i don't knw d ebelebor you referring to, just like av said in my previous post, i do refer to it as fruit

bunmioguns:

Ok then. The name is Nigerian almond

@bunmioguns,
You're welcome.

I so much like this almond nut. I never knew it was gotten from ebelebor tree which is everywhere. Almond nuts are very expensive but the fruits are readily available in Nigeria. It could be the rigours of processing the fruit to obtain the Almond nuts that make it very expensive. My opinion though

That's tropical almond

Hmm
Nice
Thanks for these
I was just wondering on this today myself when my search led me here.
Thanks

its a different specie of almond. its known by the names sea almond,tropical almond etc

its tropical almond

How do you plant this so called Nigerian-Almond? Season? Nursery? Post planting? Direct Planting?

pick seedling from mother fruit tree

Then...?

Then plant. Make sure there's enough growing space around it cos it grows so big

So after getting a rippened seed, I kept it up in humid or watery place to cause it to germinate, (okay?), after it germinate I plant it out in an open space, okay?

bunmioguns:



well based on wht i saw in google, dis is the picture of almond, but dis one is entirely different from almond

Hence, I gave it a name: as from today LET IT BE CALLED "Fleshy Almond!"

We love the Fleshy fruit!

The place doesn't have to be watery. its just like planting mango. The roots grow long and big when matured. that's why you need lots of space

Candycrush, you mean, I can just put it in any humid outside environment, that it will begin growing up from there like mango plant, that there is no need for transplanting?

If the initial planting spot is okay, then you don't need to transplant
