This is tambis, with skin that's lighter in color and a more cottony flesh. Macopa,while basically of the same shape as tambis, has a deeper crimson skin, denser flesh, and more tart taste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278396853886368252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-33928613726895488052014-02-08T07:16:33.850+08:002014-02-08T07:16:33.850+08:00Nonsense.

Its skin is thinner than the "MACOPA" that I know. My family have both of these sweet fruit trees in the old ancestral home. I sure can bet that they are two botanically different plants,although they may be genetically closely related.It is worth mentioning here,I suppose,that my sweet childhood memories,too, revolved much around these magnificent fruit trees....!DRAKO2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/02229798213695248048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-81189331720162753582013-02-22T15:22:56.039+08:002013-02-22T15:22:56.039+08:00dog can eat a macopa fruits?please answer thanks :...dog can eat a macopa fruits?please answer thanks :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737409289327818974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-9718900585009048262013-01-12T18:07:21.759+08:002013-01-12T18:07:21.759+08:00Has anybody ever heard of the tree called dambo? ...Has anybody ever heard of the tree called dambo?

But even for documentation purposes it would be beneficial to establish what is native and not. Sure would be ideal to plant the true natives rather than introduced. :)metscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648670389826317897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-5358411269685002452010-06-09T07:46:23.993+08:002010-06-09T07:46:23.993+08:00It seems to me that it is well and good to differe...It seems to me that it is well and good to differentiate a non-native tree if say it came from other parts of the world that are not our immediate SE Asian neighbors. It is splitting hair to distinguish Philippine native species from those growing in Indonesia and Malaysia. The only thing that sets us apart from them is our political history. Same terrain, essentially the same climatic system, in fact the same people. It becomes truly problematic and dubious if the introduction happened before pre-recorded history.Apiciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116564621885497212noreply@blogger.com
