Believe it or not, these little alien pods are apparently good for the eatin'. I didn't know this at the time, so I can't offer any personal opinions, although I don't think this batch was ripe yet, anyway.

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I have one of these. I didn’t know they were edible until a plant expert friend saw my tree.
These look ripe to me. Leave them any longer and the squirrels will get all of them. Which is what happened to me this year, I only picked three before the little bastards cleaned me out.
To eat, I cut them in half and then lick out the custard-like goo. There are three seeds per fruit to avoid.
