Greetings friends, I hope you are enjoying this Sunday relaxed and in good spirits. Today I want to share my entry with this photograph that I took this Friday while I was walking in Caracas, Venezuela and it is about this large woody tree whose scientific name is Couroupita guianensis but it is commonly known as Taparón or cannonball for its characteristic fruits with that shape. , is a plant endemic to tropical areas and can measure up to 25 meters. The pollinators of this plant are bees and also bats.

Wow! I spent a couple of years in the tropics but as far as I remember, I never saw this tree. Very interesting. Looks like cannon balls indeed. Or bowling balls :D What does the fruit taste like?
Hello! Well, the fruit is not edible but since its surface is woody and very hard, it is used to make containers or bowls. Best regards.
