Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 11, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2017 Cannonball tree, Couroupita guianensis is native to the Guiana in northeastern South America. The large flowers are fragrant and develops on the tree trunk. Much like papayas. These trees have spherical, cannonball-like fruits up to 8″ in diameter. At the moment, the fruits are not in season. These fruits resembles a bare coconut husk outer shell. And it's size is identical to a cannon ball. These trees are at Pasir Ris near to Pasir Ris West Mall. They can also be found at East Coast Park.. When the cannonball but falls; one can hear the distinct nut-crack sound... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
