hi peter, i think in lay man’s term, its call the PONG PONG tree….n during my primary school days, i used to kick the fruits around with the boys….knowing that the fruit is actually poisonous, causing one to be mute at least!!, i did have thoughts of using to poison my guardian then, who was actually a devil in disguise!!

trees like that reminds me of my playground back in hometown – used to haggle all my aunts to bring me there as we have to cross a big road to get there (went back to hometown this year and realised the road is so small!)

the swings were placed right next to such a tree and i’d swing myself higher and higher trying to kung-fu kick the leaves, hehe

thai boxing girl,
My parents told me that the rats would not come near this fruit. How true that is I do not know. Now as I read through the articles about its toxicity, I began to see how dangerous it is to those who do not know about it.

nyx,
When we were small, everything looked big. Now that we have grown up, our perspective is totally different. Reminiscing about those childhood day is fun, right?

sHee,
In India, its poison is used to commit suicide, hence its name.
