This is one of my favourite plants, it grows well in any kind of container, though the bigger pot is the best for it to grow. I bought the baby plant from Pasar Malam (local night market), it was about 25 inch height in a plastic pot, after one year, it is growing to 1 meter height, flowering and bearing the fruits.
The flowers in light yellow colour. The leaves have very fresh of sour smell. It need a lot of sunlight and water, otherwise the leaves turn brown.
The fruits are similar to the green mangoes, the bigger I have seen is about an egg size, it tastes sour but crunchier, I like to eat it when the fruit is unripe the skin in dark green colour. The fruit change to brownish-yellow colour when it is ripe. The seed is very hard and has lots of fibres.

Hi,
We Chinese like to call it Buah Long long, but it is wrong. I remembered very well because during my Malay class, I use this word Buah Longlong and was corrected by my teacher.
The proper name is Buah Kedondong. The English name is Spondias dulcis.
By the way, I really miss this fruit, especially when I am staying in Canada now.
