It is reportedly naturalized in Socotra and parts of China. The fruit (palmyra fruit) measures 10 cm (3. 9 in) to 18 cm (7. 1 in) in diameter, has a black husk, and is borne in clusters. The top portion of the fruit must be cut off to reveal the sweet jelly seed sockets, translucent palewhite, similar to that of the lychee but with a milder flavor and no pit. The sweet jelly seed sockets occur in combinations of two, three or four seeds inside the fruit. The jelly part of the fruit is covered with a thin, yellowishbrown skin. These are known to contain watery fluid inside the fleshy white body.
