Interesting variety of figs. 

WOW!  Unique skin. What is name of this variety ? Where do they originate ?
Thanks for showing these to us !!             Fredfig-7/NC

Looks like a cross between a fig and a pine cone, or a very short snake that swallowed a fig.

Not a fig but salak.

Definitively a photo-job form someone with plenty of free time on his/her hands...

Nelson, they are delicious and crunchy. Usually used as a desert. Good old days in Malaysia, they were sold mainly by street hawkers and the trees were mostly wild & found in somewhat swampy like land.

a.k.a. snake fruit. cool!

Bass ..., You must be kidding ........
But  you could named it as ficus   " Salacca z "  in this forum ...lol 

Best regards

Hey Paul, I never tasted it but seen it once for sale at china town here in Toronto. It did have me tripping out a little bid definately does look like snake skin.

Ya, they sell it here but mostly in bottled or canned. common to find them in Vietnamese owned mama & papa stores. 

Bass -- good one you got. Actually I checked Wiki.... and they describe it as fig like appearance. I should have thought of it & told Rafed to sample one when he was here.

I was thinking .... snake balls

It is Salak, when I first saw this fruit it seemed like a weird fig. lol

It certainly is reptilian in appearance, very cool!

So what are its growing requirements?
