Its yet another exotic tropical fruit...Monstera deliciosa...the banana-shaped fruit of split-leaf philodendron or the cheese pant ( named for the porous leaves)...
The raw fruits, covered in spathes.........
The elephant ear-like leaves with distinct hollows....
The fruits looks like the cob of a corn..
These pictures are taken in San Diego zoo ..I have seen these plants in many parts of South California, even in our apartment garden...but, yet to taste....have heard of its multi-fruits flavor and delicacy...would love to try......
