Nice post! We have one of these trees. Our daughter thought she was having an allergic reaction to the fruit, but it was only the non ripe fruit that sucked all the moisture from her being! Lol Have you cut the seeds? It's said the inner seed can be shaped like a fork, spoon, or knife, and that will predict the amount of snow you'll have that winter. If it's a spoon, you'll be shoveling snow. If it's a knife, it will just be really cold, and at the moment i can't remember what the fork means. They also make a great pudding. :)
