I didn't prune the tops of the chokeberrybush and now it looks like I'm going to have a nice crop! Maybe I can make some syrup to last me through the winter. Or some nice aronia liqueur!

Miss Avaline began,

"What you see before you are some of the most unusual fruits on earth. Let me introduce you.

Few know the #Medlar. It's squishy & tastes like apple butter. #Quince has an apple fragrance, too.

This #Aronia or #Chokeberry reminds me of raspberries, the juice stains.

And this crazy-looking guy is #Durian. I'll slice it open & see if you notice a SHIFT in the #Aroma - from sweet to stringent & back again. It's a very pungent scent-shifter."
