1) a fruit typical from the state of Minas Gerais, very typical in Belo Horizonte and surrounding areas, very rare to see it outside Minas Gerais; 只有米纳斯吉拉斯州才有, 其他州比较罕见

 it takes between 8 to 10 years for the first blossom; It is a seasonal fruit, it comes maximum twice a year, normally second half of the year. 大约要等8到10年才会开花结果, 每年最多花开两次

The fruit stands in the tree for 2 weeks, but once you take it out of the tree it would stand about 4 days only. Since the fruit has a very short life time normally we cook it and turn it into a jelly. Some people also make liquor with the fruit; It is one of the most delicious fruit I know, that is the reason I have 2 trees at home.The fruit very much like a grape inside, you eat it as if it were a grape.

成熟后两周内须采摘, 存放时间不超过4天, 一般人都拿来做果酱, 也有人用它酿酒,

这是我吃过的最鲜美的水果, 所以家中栽种了两棵, 果子吃起来象葡萄

I will send you pictures of my trees when they start blossom during second half of the year.

等今年下半年家里的果树开花后给你发照片过来 ...

10) 马来朋友电邮的图片, 说是巴西葡萄, 比较奇异, 果子直接长在树干上,

有抗癌功效, 但需要有足够的耐心等待后才能吃到果子 ...

偶又跟前任巴西老板进行了核实, 上面的兰色文字是他回复邮件的部分内容 ...
