What are two fruits on a tree? Can you eat them?

What happened?

There are two kinds of fruits with different sizes, shapes and colors on the tree.

Experts say that weather, soil, water and fertilizer may cause fruit variation.

Reporter Cai Intelligent Photography reported: "There are actually two kinds of fruits on the tree. What's going on here? ! "Yesterday, looking at the" strange tree "in front of us, the villagers near Aimin West Road in Datang Town, Sanshui were puzzled.

There are thirty or forty printed trees near Aimin West Road, Datang Town, Sanshui, which are nearly ten years old and about two stories high. Residents said that in previous years, the fruit of Yinxiang tree was small oval particles, which changed from green to dark green after maturity. This year, the residents nearby discovered a strange phenomenon: Yinxiang tree bears fruits of different shapes.

The reporter saw yesterday that this "freak" fruit looks like a pumpkin, and its "skin" is yellow, a bit like yam.

Dr. Zheng from the Provincial Forestry Survey, Planning and Design Institute believes that Huangguo is not another kind of fruit, but a kind of insect: "Insects lay eggs on leaves and leave wounds on the surface. In order to protect themselves, plants spontaneously secrete some plant tissues, forming tree tumors on leaves, and because of the protection of tissue fluid, insects grow and develop in them, forming bugs. These trees in Datang are all parasitic pests in the fruit stalks and change the shape of the fruits. " Weather, soil and other factors can also lead to the fruit variation of Yinxiang tree: "Yinxiang tree grows on the soil hardened land, or the water and fertilizer management is not ideal, or it encounters high temperature weather above 25℃ for a long time after flowering. It will cause fruit variation. "
