(Click for bigger picture, then click backwards)

A hardy sour fruit bearing Assam Tree thriving in my neighbourhood park. The fruits are used for flavouring Eastern cooking from India to the South East Asian countries where they are popular.

If you look carefully at the picture, you will be able to see that the tree is laden with the assam fruits, ready for the picking.

Some neighbourhood people will use a long pole to knock down the fruits and collect them in baskets to take home for their cooking.
