It is rare to find such a bountiful cannon ball tree.

What beautiful flowers, Lee!
Naturally I had to read about the history and the uses of the cannonball tree. Fascinating!

What an unusual tree! All the fruit grows around the bottom near the trunk instead of up among the leaves. You take such interesting pictures.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN A TREE LIKE THAT ONE. WHAT ARE THE FRUITS LIKE? ARE THEY EDIBLE?

No, even the monkeys do not eat it.

Very interesting tree. At first sight I thought of a kind of pear. Now I know more!
The blossoms are beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Lee

Interesting! I would love to see one of these in person.

The flowers are unusual.

Are there any uses for the cannon balls?

I have not seen anyone use these canon balls. However, the tree is often found in the compound of Thai temples. It has something to do with Buddha.
