Mabolo
Mabolo or Velvet Apple (Diospyros blancoi) is a plant closely related to the ebony tree and the persimmon. Its edible fruit has a skin covered in a fine, velvety fur which is usually reddish-brown, and soft, creamy, pink flesh, with a taste and aroma comparable to fruit cream cheese(the aroma of the fruit itself, however, is unpleasant, comparable to rotten ceese or cat feces; inspiring names like the french "Caca de Chat" in Reunion). It is native to the Philippines with its tree known as Kamagong.
