Mystery Fruit

Very often we will find some type of plant, animal or new food that we know next to nothing about. We have been looking up them up on the internet and reading more and more books on plant identification and have been trying to ask everyone we know about these types of things, but still we are often stumped. Thanks to friends on LifeTransplanet’s Facebook page we learned what we were calling “the watermelon tree” really was: a higuera tree otherwise known as a Calabash Tree.

What fruitPerhaps mamey sapote?

Quenepa open

Pretty sure these are quenepas because our neighbor said that people had been trying to reach through the fence to pick them

Mystery Fruit
No clue…

Any tips would be great! Also we would like to know how to prepare them, if needed, or if we can eat them at all (as in the case of the higuera which is not edible)!
