The Jering tree ( Pithecolobium lobatum) is fruiting well at the Kambatik eco-farm. What is interesting is the fact that this tree while heavily fruiting is starting to show off new flowers at the same time. Thia is the first time I notice this phenomena.
Flowers of the Jering
Having a good time this morning collecting the Jering fruits .
I use a long bamboo pole to twist the soft end branches. The Jering is a well-known local fruit to help out with high blood pressure.
Jering fruit when ripe is roundish and has a dark brown thick covering.
I prefer to eat it raw with the famous Bintulu belacan or shrimp paste pounded with fresh ginger, chillies and anchovies.
