Exotic fruit


Colourful fruit stands along the roadside in Tagaytay, Batangas, Philippines.  That is all it says on the reverse of the card, and I'd dearly love to know what the fruit is.  I can at least identify oranges and grapefruit and bananas but I don't want to display my ignorance by guessing at the others.

If you click on the picture, you can see a much larger version and maybe identify a few more.

This is a post for Postcard Friday, which is hosted by Beth Niquette at The Best Hearts are Crunchy.

  2. I think the ones in the front are lychees. I would like some of those little apple-bananas.

  4. Looks like you received help already. I think the one on top of the soursop, the big round, yellow fruit, is called a pomelo. Sweet and sourish at times, it has sacs like that of an orange fruit.

    I published my PFF post since Thursday night and it disappeared completely the whole Friday :( Other than that, I didn't notice any loss of posts/comments. Will definitely let you know of my planned giveaways!
