Default Re: Fruit of the Hala or Puhala Tree seed pod

While I'm not personally growing them, they grow throughout my neighborhood and are one of the main coastal native rainforest trees. They look like some ancient type of plant you'd see with dinosaurs around. The seed pods are somewhat edible. I have a friend here who is originally from the Marshall Islands. She said the fruit here is not as good and has much less edible content to it.
