Yamamomo
2024.10.12
Known as mumu (or mijimu) in the Okinawan dialect, the Japanese name is yamamomo, an evergreen tree of the yamamomo family.Its Japanese name comes from the fact that it grows in the mountains and bears peach-like fruits. It is also known as “yangbai,” “yama-sakura-momo,” and “hi-jitsu,” and has been used in waka poems since ancient times. It is dioecious, and produces small, inconspicuous red flowers in clusters of beads from March to April. The fruits are almost spherical, dark red, and densely covered with glabrous granules on the surface. (For more information about the mountain peach, see Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
The fruits are soft, moist, sweet and sour, and are delicious when eaten with a little salt, just like watermelon.
The fruit trees grow large and are used as roadside trees in some areas, but when the fruits ripen and fall, they are trampled and the area around the trees turns black.
