Cannonball Fruit Review

 

Quite amazingly, the attention-grabbing term perfectly serves as the common name for the Couroupita guianensis. This awesome tree quite clearly represents a highly distinctive tree native to only a specific portion of the world. This remarkable and fascinating species, however, now exists in cultivation in many regions of the world possessing an appropriate climate. While its fruit remains completely edible, humans rarely eat the surprising plant, though. That’s due to the fact that, despite the quite fragrant appeal of its flowers, many consider the fruit itself to have a distinctly unpleasant aroma. But the enormous fruit of the remarkable tree does have commercial value of a sort. That’s because, and somewhat surprisingly so, many local inhabitants of its region actually feed it to their livestock. The marvelous Cannonball Tree nevertheless has long held a role of importance in the cultures of local Indigenous Peoples. These local inhabitants have also long used it as a source of medicines for a wide variety of complaints. These include treating such conditions as skin conditions, injuries, malaria, and even toothaches and the common cold. In many countries, though, it now forms an popular ornamental plant. This only increases concerns for it. Fortunately for those who appreciate the wonders of Nature, this tree appears to be maintaining a stable population, for the moment.
