March 29, 200620 yr Hi, I need several thousand of the attached fruit of the right size. You can not eat the fruit but most thais know this fruit.In Thai it's called ตีนเป็ดน้ำ . Maybe a nice earner for a local village. Thanks, Peters
March 29, 200620 yr this is my first time to see this fruit , so it makes me really curious what is it ( from foto i thought it is 'ma gok'มะกอก ) so i google for ตีนเป็ดน้ำ Cerbera odollam Gaertner and it's fruit about 'teen ped num'(ตีนเป็ดน้ำ) fruit , it can use like herb , for induced vomit, and luxative .. but it's really harmful (dead), if eat it too much
March 30, 200620 yr Author Hi Bambina, The fruit is indeed poisonous. Local villagers use it as poison against rats, etc.. I need 50,000+ of them. If you dry them you get the below product, probably you know that one. On this moment I only have 5,000. Because the fruits are not edible, there are no growers/nurseries on a large scale. Probably I have to set up collection points across Thailand. Peters
