The
fruit of the Jackalberry tree is a favourite of many animals. The
fleshy fruit is oval, almost round in shape and about 1 inch in diameter
and yellow or yellow-green in colour. Five sepals of the calyx of the
flower remain on the bottom of the fruit, their tips curling backwards. "Careful about those bushes," he says. Not two steps ahead of me is a thicket of jackalberries."
