Many edible plant parts that are considered fruits in the botanical sense are culinarily classified as vegetables (for example: the tomato, zucchini, and so on), and thus do not appear on this list. Similarly, some botanical fruits are classified as nuts (e.g. brazil nut) and do not appear here either. This list is otherwise organized botanically.
The tree grows to a height of around 15 m (49 ft). The leaves are oblong in shape and are around 20 to 25 cm (7.9 to 9.8 in) long and 6 to 8 cm (2.4 to 3.1 in) wide. The tree is also harvested for its timber which is used for construction. It is not commercially cultivated and the fruit is harvested from the wild.
